My thrift store find
 

Today, my husband and I ran some errands and decided to stop by one of the thrift shops. This little prize was on the shelf not priced. I could not believe the work involved. It is 10" across and has over 300 tiny pieces appliqued on it. Some of the pieces are about 1/4 inch. It also has embroidery on it. I hope you can see the detail in the pictures. By the way, I paid $.75. One of the pictures is a close up[ATTACH=CONFIG]345740[/ATTACH]

That is beautiful!! I wonder how long it took to make this

I think you got a bargain. I have never seen anything like that before. Don't you wish you knew it's story?

Wow what a find and to know that someone put a lot of time into that and was only $0.75 is amazing. what a treasure :)

What a great find. Hours and hours of work.

Wow! It's amazing, what people discard. Someone put many, many hours into making that!

In case you are wondering, that is called a mola, probably from the highlands of Guatemala.

I was thinking it was a mola too. I have a shirt that friends brought back from the San Blas Islands when they were cruising on their sailboat and the tiny stitches of the applique look the same. That is quite a find.

Neat little treasure you found! :)

That is an awesome find! Just beautiful!
