flea market finds

We went to the

(NO! they do not sell antique cars or garages)

on West 25th Street

between Sixth and Seventh Avenues

I'd never been before

and

it was interesting

its inside a parking garage

so it indoors

but

its not heated

so its cold

I guess

most collectors of such crap,

antiques,

are hot blooded

searching through other people's cast offs

looking for that one item really worth

something

this was hanging along the ramp up into the garage

I looked at it on the way in and on the way out

I decided I had to share

Its a Wall O'Samplers

I suppose

you cut them

and

frame

individually

what happened to actually stitching your own sampler

with your own motto, pithy, clever, witty saying

umm

Yeah

Well

I guess stitching samplers went the way of the motto t-shirt

or did it?

the way i see it
