CHS Stocking


I am posting my progress as promised. This is where I finished on Thursday, I have now completed page one. Woohoo! Now on to page two. Hopefully I can have this finished by the end of summer, that is my plan.


Here are a couple of flea market finds that I purchased over the weekend. At this particular flea market, you never know what you are going to find. There can be snakes, a man was walking around with it on his shoulders then there can be antiques. You just never know. It starts at daylight or before and it over usually by 10:30am depending on the crowd. I purchased an old hand turned crock and 3 hooked wool rugs and 2 wool seatcovers for less than $25. I also bought a glass frog to put my scissors in and a pair of scissors marked Howard Cutlery Company Germany.
Until Thursday, happy stitching!
