Still Collecting

Once a collector always a collector. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. As of right now my obsessions are:

• Large/unusual bird scarecrows or sculptures
• Chinese looking tins from the 50s and of course knitting needles and crochet hooks to go in them
• Crinoid Fossil "Indian Beads"
• Old pictures
• China with roses especially unusual pieces
• Whatever those stone encrusted things are- I have an official collection of them now that I found my third piece, a knob at Hobby Lobby.

 

  

 

 

100 Days of Doilies Day 92

At one time I did quite a bit of filet crochet. I gave a lot of it away as gifts. I managed to keep this one (yay). Roses is a theme I have carried through most of my adult life.

Aren't these spectacular?!? Once again, I wouldn't want to make them but, wow, to own some would be nice.

I adore these little things with the sweet roses in the center! I gotta find something uber cool to do with it.

Vintage, unknown provenance.

Definitely not Chinese!

My Daughter-in-Law, Emmy Lou, gave me these. They are spectacular! Hand embroidered linen with crochet edgings.

Not sure where this one came from but I am guessing it was destined to be a pot holder. I like this a lot. Pink is my favorite color....name that tune.
