I went by a yard sale not for from my house on Friday.  I got this wonderful doily for only one dollar!  I knew the lady who had lived in the house where the sale was taking place.  She is now in a nursing home and her daughter was getting rid of some of her things.  I think it is so sad.  The lady did beautiful cross-stitch.   When I had been to her home a couple times with my mother-in-law some years ago she had these huge georgous cross-stitched angels framed and hanging all over her house!  They told me that the family was keeping all of those.  I don't blame them I would keep them, too if they were done by a member of my family.
I also got this wonderful glove there.  I only paid fifty cents for it.  You can't really tell from the picture, but it is of a sheer black organza.  They thought I was crazy to just buy one glove.  But I have seen some really neat needle work collages done with old gloves.  My daughter put it on yesterday and just loved it!  She said I should have gotten both gloves.  But one of them had something all over the top of it.
