My grandma could quite literally crochet with her eyes on the tv, and she'd be using the finest hook and finest crochet thread.<br /><br />My other grandma had one of those apple dishes you've blogged about, except hers had clear glass, not the blue glass. I ended up giving it away though, I had a ton of stuff gathering dust and I had to get ruthless. Oh! I'm obsessed with a store called Savers here in Australia and when I saw your Value Village photos, I realised Savers is the Australian name for V.V. The shelf labels and pricetags are identical. I have some Savers blog posts in the works, I can understand your obsession! I go mainly for board games and I found some of my childhood favourites. I have a blog post in the works about that too. I looove the original boxes with the kids haircuts, clothes and dorky parents!RuskinDayshttp://ruskindays.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-66997042489025155612012-06-16T22:49:29.563-04:002012-06-16T22:49:29.563-04:00I loved seeing your collection.

My grandmother gave me her knitting needles because her hands weren't functioning anymore. She had done a lifetime of knitting, crocheting, sewing, etc. <br /><br />It is a pretty, happy set of dishes for sure. :)JoKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282621916141807042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-15749550585044028292012-06-16T04:31:26.178-04:002012-06-16T04:31:26.178-04:00Ooooh how I love lovely old mismatched cups and sa...Ooooh how I love lovely old mismatched cups and saucers!

I'm like you, want to use my treasured pieces as long as possible and hold on to them after they've worn out. : ) Some of my mom's pieces just make me smile when I pass by them. I would love if you'd share your thrifty finds at my Frugal Treasures Tuesday party. : )Barbe @ Beez Rental Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095668448024915635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132521194361824092.post-49422234086401657682012-03-31T10:33:40.512-04:002012-03-31T10:33:40.512-04:00Hi Vicky, Thanks!
