Antique Pox ~

Antique pox, a disease for which there is no cure.  Last week at the antique mall near Sauder Village, I came home empty handed.  Monday friend Linda and I headed to Seville, OH.  A shop there is closing soon and we wanted to check out the sale merchandise.  Even though Facebook and the sign on the door said they were open on Monday, they were not :(  We walked down the street to Seville Antiques.  Well, I was B.A.D. there!  As I tell my boys, spending their inheritance . . . lol.  I saw this large Peaseware container back at the beginning of December, but since I bought my trencher, passed on it.  It has some damage so it was a great price.  I was shocked to find it still there.  It was meant to be, right?

I'm also a sucker for antique samplers and have purchased several from that shop over the years.  Elizabeth Richey, age 9, is not dated, but I loved the red, "dirty" white (more of a tan color) and blue used in the sampler.

I finished binding and labeling Vintage Blossoms.  The finished size is 23" x 40".  It just dawned on me the other day it matches DSO's barn red half bath perfectly, so it will go live there.  I can't put a rug on the floor without Molly coming in for a photo bomb :)  I took the first picture and she left, but before I got the second one she was already back . . . lol.  The colors in the first picture are more accurate.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
