My Mother's Handwork

My mother died two years ago the past Nov. 19th. I miss her every day but especially during the holidays. Today I loaded a sd photo card in my computer and found these pictures. I have two drawers full of her embroidered and crochet handwork. My mother loved to sew, crochet, and embroider. I believe she did most of these as a young woman. Some of these were probably stitched for her "Hope Chest".

I believe these pictures were taken by my daughter.

Old Things

I like antiques and I have a few.  Recently my husband recovered two old Cosco step stools for me.  They look so much better and I tried to keep the retro style look.




Cosco Step Stools

A couple of old wooden bowls take center stage on an old buffet.  I purchased the buffet at an auction of a antique store that was closing.  I had a small booth at the same antique store with some of my oil lamps and my silhouette pictures and other items for sale..

I love a red and black kitchen.

The round table base is actually a old iron Singer treadle sewing machine stand. 

Well,  that is just a peek into my little world.
