This was my wallpaper from when I was a little kid-

this is an image I remember very clearly. This fox always looked like a keyhole to me. It must have been right at eye-level when I lay in bed.

this kitty is my favorite now-

I needed to bring this old tea crate home and will keep it for a while at least- it says Tanganyika on it!

this sticker is on the other side-

I found this box of buttons. There were lots more when I opened the box but many just crumbled away when I touched them. Too many years in the attic. I remember playing with the sombreros when I was small.

and here is an actual sombrero that my Dad brought to one of my brothers in the early 60’s-

I found lots of my Mom’s UFO’s (unfinished objects)… let that be a lesson to me!

I found a box of miscellaneous vintage table textiles. There were the usual unmatched napkins and assorted doilies. There were a few odd things though, like these embroidered “bottom of your wine glass” cozies or whatever they are!

and a cross-stitch dish towel (?) map of Taiwan-

some silly fellows that I couldn’t bear to leave behind-

and Eleanor, here is that suitcase I was telling you about- isn’t it great! The box says it is a shoe and hat suitcase.
