My DH's step-mom (I consider her my second MIL) brought me a trunk load of goodies when she came back from her moms, there's a bunch, you'll see in the pics.
The sad part is I'm getting this because her mom just went home from the hospital and is on hospice because she has terminal cancer that is spreading and complications. She's been in my prayers for a long time and I know there is no recovery but I pray for her to be out of pain and for a miracle that we all wish for.

for any interested in the panel. Hancock of Paducah has it for $4.00!

Very sad but It will go to the most appreciated person instead of going to a dump.

Sorry for the way you got these, but they are a great gift. I smiled when I saw the "How To" book (the green one). I taught myself to knit, crochet and embroider from that book. I lost the original and was thrilled when I found a replacement at a garage sale.
