I too, could never get rid of anything handmade. I still have some 'chicken scratch' pillow cases given to me when I got married in 1954. I don't use them but I remember Aunt Rena and know she put a lot of work into them. She made two sets for my daughter and she put them in a yard sale and I bought them so you see, some of us are more sentimental about 'stuff' than others. And that's a good thing otherwise some of the great finds we see here on the board would never see the light of day.
