Fog
I went to an Amish auction/flea market this morning and wandered there in a pretty good fog. The flea market was so-so. Lots of new stuff, and not so much not so old stuff. Of course I found a few treasures, but I bought every thing I wanted and still left with money. I think that is a success!
The quilt auction was great. They sold several hundred quilts and many were amazing and the prizes were amazing, too. Some were affordable, but there were several that approached my bi-weekly paycheck. I know, not so much, but still pricey. They were beautiful...made be think of my Grandmother's quilts. The best were hand-stitched with thousands of pieces. I wondered if they were like quilts of old, with quilt squares make of scraps of fabric that meant something and that were pieced together by a circle of women who shared their days and lives as they created these treasures.
The photos are are mostly of the fog, with some people included. One photo shows either a job opportunity or a description of my current job. All-in-all, not a bad adventrue.
