Would you drive 500 miles (one way) to an auction?
Would you if you heard there were hundreds of feedsacks?
Some of the prettiest ones you've ever ever seen?
I would. And I did.
So I am back today from my new favorite place, northwest Ohio, with 77 of the best feedsacks ever.

Ooooh.......Myyyyy.......Gawdddd.......
It is a wonder that you didn't faint or have a heart attack........What Heaven you must have been in. Do I see a couple of those with the same label you showed in a previous post?
You were well rewarded for that drive. I would not drive that far for feedsacks, but vintage Christmas would have my in the driver's seat lickity split!
Shut...up! This is not a real picture? That is feed sack heaven. I am looking forward to you cataloging every single one. Good heavens this is amazing. Smiles..Renee
How in the world did you ever narrow it down to only 77?! Oh, and thanks for the post on identifying feedsack. And after seeing that, I still say that I've never seen any feedsack around here!

So happy for you that it was worth the drive!

I have never seen so many in my life! I'm so glad you got them! You'll have fun sorting them and a lot of people will benefit from your big buy!

Glad you were successful!
I'll be in Ohio later this week, but no auctions on the agenda.

Wow...I've driven 70 miles for an auction- and it was worth it, I've also driven 70 miles and have it be a waste of time.
No, I don't think I'd drive 500 miles, even to Feedsack Heaven, but I'm glad you did.

I have a question, with all your printed beauties, how do you decide how to pair them up when you list them on Etsy?

...your family might need to stage an intervention!
