That's what we are, we join together in our love for the handmade and vintage and marvel at the time and skill needed to create these precious items.<br /><br />My dad worked in a machine shop/factory....they received nails in large linen sacks.....they would empty the sacks into bins and then throw away the sacks.....but my dad brought them home and my mom made dinner napkins out of them, and did a crochet edging on some and drawn thread work on others. Now, they were Italian immigrants who married in 1928 and came to America......out of necessity and a spirit of "waste not, want not"....they survived and thrived!!! They did not live in a throw away society...we still have many of those linen items to pass down to generations......hugs...cleosweet violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217634500685029163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184510138812887851.post-50183840934708164802012-04-18T09:57:09.806-06:002012-04-18T09:57:09.806-06:00It's wonderful that you take such pleasure in ...It's wonderful that you take such pleasure in those lovely items, Jacqueline. It's so important that there are caretakers of the past who treasure all the little fragile items that are passed down through many hands into ours. I love to hold something .. like that lace-trimmed sacking towel or the pitcher .. and wonder who might have held it long ago.
