I've been there and done it. Collections were formed, added to, and some have been given away! I spent way too much $$$ on ebay, and it can be addicting if you're not careful:)) I tried to attach the little ebay gadget to this message but it won't work, darn! But it's in the gadget section of your layouts, and under 'tools'. I'm really just kidding ya, but, on the other hand, it would be 'convenient'!!!

Then I read an article about themed collections of tea towels in Martha Stewart Living, and I wished that I'd been able to keep 1950's fabrics and linens that had been in my family. However, your eBay experience is encouraging me to have a go. Meantime I'll enjoy looking at your collection on-line. Thank you for such an interesting postLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-22282503648772908982008-12-09T22:37:00.000-06:002008-12-09T22:37:00.000-06:00Thanks for the lovely comments everyone!Kylee, Do ...Thanks for the lovely comments everyone!<BR/><BR/>Kylee, Do you think we should start a meme? I would love to see pics or hear about other things people like to do. I'm glad you like my towels.<BR/><BR/>Beckie, I like that word, "kitchenallia". I was so addicted to ebay, I would get on there every day and look at all the auctions on the items I collected that were to end within a couple days, then check the newly listed ones I hadn't seen yet. I rarely go there, because I have a new computer addiction. LOL<BR/><BR/>Susan, I'm glad you like my post. I'd love to see pics of your workshop and the old ads and your tools.<BR/><BR/>Pam, I do feel blessed to be able to get the computer and camera without going into debt. I am very tickled that I am figuring out some things about my camera by reading the instruction manual. Computers should have them. I don't think they do, anyway. I've never seen one. It is a crazy fun world!<BR/><BR/>Darla, I'm sorry for the loss you experienced with the fire. Our daughter's Girl Scout leader had a fire in her home a number of years ago. I imagine your family went through a grieving process over a loss like that. I think it's good to enjoy the things we have, but I agree with you about not getting too attached to them. <BR/><BR/>Cameron, Thanks for stopping by. I do have fun filling spaces!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Tina, I have some more towels in the Hoosier, too. :o)<BR/><BR/>Connie, I have a few tablecloths, but don't have room for many. Also, I have trouble finding ones I can afford that aren't stained. I actually didn't go to as many sales this year due to the gas prices and us having our grandson on Saturdays. I'll have to take him along next summer.<BR/><BR/>Bo, I bet you have lots of fabric, since you are a quilter. Do you shop estate sales?<BR/><BR/>Laura, I'm glad my post made you smile. I'd love to see and hear what you collect, too! I feel God is behind the things we love, and it's good to enjoy them as long as it is him we are worshipping. If your husband is like mine, though, he has plenty of things that take up space in the house as well.<BR/><BR/>Jen, That's a good idea to have a theme like that for your collection. I have had trouble figuring out ways to display mine, too. I am not totally satisfied with them rolled up in the basket, but I don't have room for many to be showed in full. I do rotate the ones in the window. I also rotate the ones on the Hoosier. I keep two on it to protect the enamel. I don't remember if they showed. I have a lot of things on there right now.<BR/><BR/>Blossom, I chose the picture that included the bowl which showed the least amount of dust on the top of the Hoosier. :o) The bowl is part of a set that I got at a garage sale, and the people were selling some things that belonged to their neighbor. I got several things there at reasonable prices.<BR/><BR/>I sometimes have trouble at the beginning of a post with the words being underlined. I push the return key a couple times before starting to type now, and that seems to help. I have had trouble when trying to delete photos when editing in html, but think I have it figured out now. I'm not sure if I'd be able to tell if there were settings in the code that shouldn't be there. I'll experiment with that.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure when part two will come out, but I know which collection I'm planning to show. <BR/><BR/>Happy Blogging!Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-39072090911993465062008-12-09T21:52:00.000-06:002008-12-09T21:52:00.000-06:00I have a weakness for vintage linens, so I love yo...I have a weakness for vintage linens, so I love your collection! I also want your blue and white pyrex bowl pictured on top of your cabinet :)<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure why your typing went funny. Sometimes Blogger has some strange errors. I've found it helps to switch from "compose" to "edit html" and check if there are any settings in the code that shouldn't be there, then delete them. Sometimes I get underlining that I didn't turn on.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691765466320690473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-83841898428650796552008-12-09T21:11:00.000-06:002008-12-09T21:11:00.000-06:00Oh, your collection of vintage towels is just wond...Oh, your collection of vintage towels is just wonderful!

I like to do woodworking, and have fixed up a very nice, if tiny shop. Among other things I did to spruce it was to collect some old ads for tools to put on the walls for decoration.<BR/><BR/>BTW--I love that old Hoosier cabinet.
