FINE ESTATE AND ANTIQUE AUCTION FINDS

 Les and I went to a Fine Estate and Antique Auction. The word "fine" means everything is more expensive! Hah! Well, at least that is the way it turned out! The treasures were from an Estate in a well known exclusive suburb. That should have been the clue right there. But the word, fine, clinched it! Oh well, we found some fun things even though I had to let go of some others.

A beautiful cut work tablecloth and crewel work material. I might make some pillows out of this material ...

And last but not least, I purchased this pitcher and much, much, more...
