here is the SFBay's never ending Grandma listing.... "It was Great Grandma's", that must be why it is so expensive.

Either that or maybe they are throwing in a few cases of wine?

I love looking at the stuff trying to figure out what Granny was doing with that in there... My favorite 'found' tool is a crochet needle with the end ground off and then sharpened. I use it so much!!!

Miriam, Green with envy over what Grandma left in her drawers. I have never found any with amount of stuff.

Most old sewing machines probably belonged to somebody's grandma....

That first picture is only one drawer from that cabinet. The other picture was just two drawers. I rarely do find stuff in the drawers. I love it when I do and I had to brag...
