Something I Have Never Seen

I love antiques! My kids know I do even if they don't understand it.LOL Well I thought I had seen it all until I got my Mother's Day gift from Laura, my youngest daughter. She found this at a yard sale and the man told her he was sure it could be painted and made to look better. Well she laughed and told him he just didn't understand, this is the way I would want it.LOL So have you ever seen one of these. I'm not telling what it is until I hear some responses. By the way, I LOVE
It!!!!

I haven't deciced if I am going to leave it just like it is or make something to fit inside it. Hmmmmm, pin keep??? Or daisies??? I have to think about this.LOL

The Moonlit Stitch said...: My parents had one too just like that. It was attached to the cupboard in dad's garage with a red plastic "cup" on the bottom. I used to love to use it as a kid! ~*~Lisa; May 12, 2011 at 6:54 AM

A Word of Thanks

First, I would like to say that I am computer illiterate and without the help of a few good friends, I would not have been able to have this blog.
I would like to thank Sage of Sagewood Farms for the many hours she spent teaching me how to open a blog.
I would also like to thank Brenda from Hattie's Workshop for the awesome banner that she made me.
I am grateful to Judy of Primfolks by Judy, Susan from Threadbare Primitives and Donna from Moonchild's Primitives for giving me permission to use the products that I have made from their patterns to display in my banner.
And lastly, I would like to thank all my friends from Prim Sister's Talk Radio Gathering Room who have had the patience to teach me what all the computer language means and for giving me ideas on primitive creating.
I have found that there are so many people in the primitive community that are willing to help beginners get started and for that I am very grateful. Thanks everone!
