    'morning Lynnie - I am in FL and yes, I did take a picture of your mug rug . . . according to the PO tracking you should receive your package today I'll check back on this site tonight to see if you did in fact get the package and post the picture (of course, you must be happy with the mug rug first! )

For me its vintage holiday stuff. I love the old fashioned things. ornaments! little easter trees. Halloween ghost trees.. what do you love when you go out hunting for treasures? what is your treasure?
    I collect blue glass bottles...handkerchiefs, pretty linens, old books, especially old dictionaries (can I look up a word for anyone?), and old antique goodies...sometimes even practical things that I use all the time.

    Terriam, cute sneak peek...

    Love finding clothes for the grands, old sewing items like Ric rack and wooden spools of thread, books and I am a real sucker for China and glass ware as well as great buys for the kitchen. bought some individual Corning wear covered bowls for a quarter a piece. Perfect for the lake, bought them all and shared, 4 of us were thrilled with my $2.00 bargain

    Hi everyone.....
    I got my mug rug from sewbizgirl the other day, we were at the new big Agua pool in Dickinson for the afternoon, so I had forgotten to get pics till last night. So included in the pic's for the one I received I also have s pic of a sneak peek if all goes well.
    Love everything in package......

    Now for some fun news......my DGD's have been learning to sew. Lindsey is creating a Day/Night something and all Kassie can talk about is My little Pony's. She thinks her fabrics would be perfect for each pony by name. So I have to come up with some additional thought's to put into that one that she will like.

    Well, gotta scat...we will be heading to SD for the weekend.

    I like old fashioned skelton keys and old toy sewing machines. I remember when my son was a kid going to every yard sale to get a crab trap and fishing poles. lotsa fun looking at stuff.

    My estate sale treasures are the old colored Pyrex bowls and casserole dishes, and any other quirky, kitschey vintage kitchen stuff. I also love and collect old vases and planters with figures on them, animals and people. I love vintage fabrics and old quilts and quilt parts (quilt WIPs) that I sometimes find.
