My Grandma Glo (Gloria) recently moved to town. She downsized and got herself a little apartment near my parent's house. I think she's pretty happy with her new little space, and she's made lots of friends through the little card group that get together and plays every day. I'm happy for her!
While getting ready for the move at her old house, we came across this in a drawer. She said she made it years and years ago! And she gave it to me! Isn't it darling?? I'm going to find a cute frame for it.
She also gave me a large tea towel that she had embroidered strawberries all over. So sweet! Her "french knots" on the little blossoms are perfect! It's been very hard for Grandma to make this transition. She still mentions many things that she had to give up. Of course there just wasn't room for her to take it all.
But the good news is that she does say how happy she is in her new little place...and it's given me a chance to reconnect with her. :)
And lastly, this isn't from Grandma Glo, though I do have one in the apple pattern from my other Grandma. But no post would be complete without an Garage Sale find! Well, this was from a "church sale" about two weeks ago. The tag said "$8.00, Collectible". Now, I know that Watts pottery has really nosedived in value over the last 15 years, but it's for sure worth more than $8.00 don't you think???
Thank's for visiting! :)
I'm linking up with Sue over at "It's a Very Cherry World" for REDNESDAY !!
See more cute red things there!
I hope that when I am retired I find a card group that plays card every day. I love to play cards. your gives from your grandmother are dear. and your find 8.00 is great as it is advertising also.

Love your gran's sampler and tea towel. She did beautiful work and now you have it to treasure, how wonderful! Glad to hear she is happy in her new place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for so much for your sweet comments on my table settings! My setting are very amateur compared to what I see on other blogs, but I loved your HGTV comment, LOL! Very nice of you.
What great treasures! Those preprinted samplers must have been very popular at one time. I have several of those that I bought at an estate sale.
