You are gonna laugh but what do I spy in the entry way but a hexie table! I texted a photo to Denise who promptly told me I "needed" it but the table remains in PA.
I like the combo of hexie shapes in this next quilt and the colors are great too. I think I already own these paper shapes so this baby goes on the bucket list :)
What did I come home with tho??
I happen to have a thing for crocks and really liked the shape of this one, including the blob of glaze on the side. I also picked up the brass key in the photo. I think this was the first one I've seen with the rectangular top. Someone spent a lot of time polishing the brass (I kinda wish they hadn't) but it's a nice key and was clearly used as the end was bent. LOL!
I could do a post on my key and crock collections if anyone is interested...

I love that yellow hexie quilt, which is not surprising since yellow is my favorite color!
You need to look for such a table when you are closer to home. That is something that belongs in your home, I think. : )
That is a very cool little "ladder" your Dad said he could replicate for your hankies.
I'd love to see the crocks and keys, Sarah. Collections are fascinating things.
I just emailed this to the Hubz. We could use a weekend away and we both like antiques centers.
Any good quilt shops there?
We have an octagonal table, my post of 14th March 2013 is it, but not a great photo if you are trying to count how many sides it has. I will make more of an effort next time.
Oh yes, I would love to see your key and pottery collection! I still make tatted lace handkerchiefs (even though it takes me a long time to finish one)! June
I love antique stores and have visited some good ones in PA. Love the crock and key and would like to see pictures of your collection.
