I a...I've been following your blog and love it. I always feel a bit of sadness when I see someone's hard work at a thrift store. Not something that was easy to make, but a child's craft to a mother, or something that took so much time. What would make someone donate that?<br />I thrifted a woman's diary once from the late 1800's for $4 on a family vacation in Montana. My mother, grandmother and I both spent our vacation traveling in the motorhome reading through it's pages. It was a dull diary, mainly she hinted at preparing for a baby and kept multiple shopping lists. But the final entry was 'Uncle John shot himself'. It was a mystery. From a few entries we were able to narrow down that she lived in a city in Nebraska. We then loaned it to another (female) friend who did geneology. Smitten with the diary was able to find out the woman's name, her family history, that there was a street named after them and that Uncle John had a hunting accident. She contacted the local historical society (a woman) who was very interested and sent copies of the diary to them. All these women bonding and finding a connection over this small little diary written by this woman so long ago. Our friend then found living relatives. She called them let them know we found the diary and how much it had connected us all and would they like a copy. And they told her they didn't care and not to call back. People are strange.Melancholywingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768759933377173052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850703275190174771.post-71409495337372541632009-08-28T19:37:05.028-07:002009-08-28T19:37:05.028-07:00I have a gorgeous crocheted tablecloth like yours,...I have a gorgeous crocheted tablecloth like yours, but never thought to use it on the shower--I love that!
