When old friends leave us.....

 

Recently an old friend passed away. Her children now have the task of letting go......

 

One of items I was fortunate to receive was her whole collection of Workbasket magazine. The issues go back to 1963 through the early 90's. So many of the ads I can remember as a child and young adult. The 25 cent purchase price made me smile....

 

 

When looking at the dates I would think....that's the year President Kennedy was shot.......

 

I graduated high school......

 

The year my twins were born.....

 

All kinds of memories drifted by.

 

 

There are a lot of knitting and crocheting patterns.......

 

This yarn is very thick and made of cotton. I would never think of using it.....rather a neat display item..
