This is just the most blissful flour sack I can imagine. "Happy Girl Enriched Flour". Perfect.
Grandma's Report Card from 1937...I just phoned her to tell her I found it and she proceded to tell me the most interesting story after I told her she did well in grade 3. Apparently (as she was the oldest of 14 she was only able to go to school up to grade 7) she worked as a housemaid for a doctor who coincidently delivered her and her siblings, as well as her children. This doctors son often asked her for help with school work and the doctor offered to send her to high school....but she declined because she had already been dating Grandpa for a few years and marriage was inevitable. Her words...."Life is more important than education". And here we all are. Thank you Grandma.
A few random treasures I liked...the TINY tin, magnifying glass, and doily are my favorite.
I could go on...but I think you'll get bored of looking at my piles of fabric...I did get about 2 dozen hand embroidered vintage pillowcases though. Beautiful. Keep you all posted on what becomes of all this.
