Boy, that brought back a memory! My Mom made the grape cluster. Wish I had thought to keep it and frame like you have done.

They were used as trivets, but grandma called them hotpads.

Love the framing, I collect old pot holders, hotpads, etc. Now I know how to display them in a unique way. thanks

My grandmother made the same grape bundle from metal bottle caps! I wish I had one of them now. She made them for Christmas presents for her ladies church group. I saw neat yo yo using a penny for the insert. It made a great place mat or mug mat when sewn together. The penny was just the right heaviness.
