old, but still useful
Last Friday, I stopped at an estate sale and bought a bag of vintage fabric scraps for a buck fifty.
Looking at these pieces makes me happy.
They are worn, many obviously, from the shape they were cut in, the remnants of long forgotten outfits.
I like to think that even old things have luster all their own and can still be of use.
What was she saving these for? A quilt, perhaps?
They would make a beautiful collage. Just think of all the possibilities.
I think that as we age we remember bits and pieces of our lives and just like these old cloths all of are memories are woven together and hopefully a beautiful life is remembered- of course not perfect but memories of late nite talks while drinking a cup of coffee or sipping a glass of wine or whiskey sours- memories of loved ones talking and sharing each other others lives now that is the fabric of life
