Vintage Thingies Thursday

Out and about last weekend searching for treasure, I was disappointed to have driven all over town and only found a few things, stuffing them all into a little bag. Last night I pulled them out; a few baby clothes, knit booties, and a child's apron. I hadn't noticed before, but the cute little pleated apron with blue rick rack was still stiff, like it had never been used and there was a crinkling sound in the tiny pocket--a note! It reads "Victoria with love from Great grandmother Georgia- every stitch hand sewed." Treasure indeed...

    What a great find for you. But how sad someone did not want to keep that. I would have never gotten rid of that treasure.

    That's so sweet! And almost sad that someone didn't appreciate it. Well, WE do. Thanks for sharing such a great find. Love your banner, btw.

    Wouldn't you just love to know the story behind that apron? Someone should write a children's book about it. Thanks for sharing your treasure.

    That is a great find. I wonder who had it back then. It would be so neat to peek back in time :)

    It makes me mad when people don't appreciate homemade gifts. You were destined to rescue this treasure! Now we're enjoying it too. Good job Great Grandma!! We love you!

    Nice to find your blog. My husband grew up in Walnut Creek. We live on the Peninsula now.
