Lookie what I found at auction

[lhasaapsolady]

Friday evening is auction night for hubby and I, and last week I found a treasure. Outside in the various box lots I found a box of Needlework books and upon searching to the bottom I found 50 antique/vintage crochet books, the oldest is from 1911. I got it for $25 bucks which I think was a steel as there are 50, plus the newer needle books, macrame, and plastic canvas leaflets.

Nice find! I have an old trunk that is very similar to the one you have in your picture lhasaapsolady!

I have some old books (and trunk too) that sold for 10 - 30 cents new. I have the table cloth one also. If you really like the old stuff, check out vintagecrochet.com (I think). You can have mine, if you don't have them.
