MY haul today!
#1
You won't believe what I got today. I've been doing genealogy research on my family and my mother said she had a box of "stuff". I'm thinking pictures. Well, today I got the box and not only were there pictures in it, but there was 3 things in there that blew my mind!
1)a notebook with original pages from a family bible, birth certs, death certs, and marriage certs (for my GGGGranfather and his wife)
2) a woven spread -- and a note that says "my mother carded, spun and wove this spread right after the civil war", signed Rebecca Davis Webb (my GGGGrandmother).....WOW!!!! And it also had a handful of homemade linens...I don't know anything about linens, so I've got to research...
3) But best of all -- this woven glass beaded purse!!!
Now THIS is what I call a haul!!!! :mrgreen:
