Oh, the things you'll find

I didn't buy anything last week. However, I found some great stuff. I really should clean up the attic more often, because I found a few things that I could not for the life of me remember where I'd put.

I found one of my favorite tablecloths. I'd have cropped the photo more, but Carson (upper left corner) was trying so hard to get his picture taken. Since the nights have started getting a little chilly, he's been even more snuggly. I guess we will not need to worry about heating bills as long as we're underneath 70 pounds of furry dog.

I also found my favorite picnic tablecloth, the classic red and white check. There's, what, not quite two weeks of summer left? Oh, well. Fall is a good picnic season, too.

I looked for these hat pincushions when I did a crochet post a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn't find them. Here they are! Now, if I can just find the one I showed you before, I think I'll decorate it like the yellow one. Those little flowers are just enough of a crochet project for me.

Here's a hat potholder. I can't decide if it belongs with the little crocheted hat collection ...

Or the little crocheted potholder collection.

Decisions, decisions.

I have two of those little dresses in red and white from my great-grandmother. I always wondered if they were just decoation or if they had a purpose. Thanks so much!!

OMG! That blue tablecloth is one of the prettiest things I've ever seen. Such a treasure. Glad you rediscovered it so it can be appreciated.

Hahaha this all seems so familiar to me. When I'm searching something in the house, I always now from te beginning that I will find something that I have lost too (of course not the object that I'm looking for). When we moved six years ago I found some pretties on the attic that I would have bougt at a flea market again, I liked them and didn't remember that I had those cuties neither when of where I bought them. And now I cannot remember were I left those. When I'm looking for something I always give myself a kind of time out. If I haven't found it within let's say an hour, I'll stop searching. That works with new stuff, you can go to a store and buy these special scissors again, but with fleamarket stuff iit is sooo annoying. The concolation: life is full of discoveries! (again and again). Have a great day!

I think I love all of the same things you do! Gorgeous tablecloths - love your photos - and I collect those little crocheted "clothing" pot holders, too. I only have one of the little hat pincushions, I just found it a month ago or so at a yard sale. Great stuff!
