Oliver's Special Award for Marydon
Thank you Oliver, I love it!
~~~ Here Kitty, Kitty ~~~
I was soooo excited when I found these kitty flour/sugar sacks. So adorable! I remember when my Mother went to the grocery store & they had fabrics on a 'roll', you picked your fabric design, they sewed it right there, filled it w/whatever she was buying ... sugar, flour, etc., then stitched it closed. We kids had fun taking the stitching apart when we got home. This is the first 'kitty' I've ever had.

Feedsack Pretty * What To Do w/String
I just learned from an elderly lady that they saved every strand of the string/thread that held the 'sacks together & crocheted with it, making things for the house. I remember Mother & G'ma Maggie saving huge balls of string, I wonder if this was what they were using. Thrifty! Who would have thought.

Enchanted Makeovers
Scotty, Kitty, Down @ Farm, ABCs
Dancing jigs this month! What a find this is ... highly sought after novelty feedsack. There were approx. 42 companies that made feedsack cloth aka chicken linen. We got over 100 in again today. Most we've ever had arrive in a mn. before. You can view them on our website.
Kitty, Teddy, Bunny, Squirrel Feedsack
Kitty, Teddy, Bunny, Squirrel Feedsack ~ What a coup! (3) fantastic finds all in one day & in perfect condition. These are supposedly around 1940s ... I AM SO EXCITED!!! The feedsacks replaced barrels for shipping farm & food items. Originally feedsacks were plain linen colored w/advertising in ink the company's logo & product. Approximately c. 1925 colored feedsacks came into play, still stamped in ink the advertising. I found it very interesting that the manuf. even created patterns for dolls, animals & quilt blocks onto the 'sacks ... I found (2) most recently.

My gorgeous marathon son, Emery
My son, Emery, started late in life with many things ... but has been very successful in them all. We had planned to work on a retirement future when he decided to go to college ... after 7 yrs. & bless Cathelene he got married ... TG! While in college he 'ran' some but got really serious about 10 yrs. ago. Now he chases the marathons all over & has done so well in his ventures. We go to the Boston Marathon with he & his family yearly. He runs several marathons in the Wash., DC arena, including the Marine Corps. Marathon. We are so very proud of all Emery has accomplished in his life .. including being a wonderful Father to Ansel & Tatiana, & husband to his wife, Cathelene.

Very beautiful area! I've not really been in the PA area much. I hope the elk stay there! lol They are too big and they would really scare me to be in our yard! lol
I've never been to PA...but some of those old barns look like ones we see around the Midwest. I love the photos with the dusting of the snow...pretty.
