Feed Sack Find

First, let me start by saying

how much I have learned in the past two years. 

Antiques? 

I thought I knew SOME things. 

I knew NOTHING!  

But I keep learning. 

This was a huge lesson. 

I saw this box of fabric out at the local auction

and knew

that it was what I was looking for to 

make pillow covers for the camp. 

I had a friend buy it for me. 

I set a price that I would go for it. 

Just pretty fabric pieces. 

 

She buys them well within my price range.

(Did I mention I am pretty cheap?)

They are sitting in my family room 

and 

I decide to take the box to work and sort 

them in my free time. 

  

I start opening and refolding them 

and 

they are already sewn together

like pillowcases. 

Still no clue what I have. 

I keep unfolding

and refolding 

and about a third of the way 

through the box

the proverbial light bulb clicks on! 

These are 1930 and 1940 feed and flour sacks!

In mostly pristine condition! 

  

Still sewn into feed sacks

which after I research a little

I realize that they are worth more sewn together still. 

So, 

off to Ebay I go

to figure out some value. 

Needless to say, 

I started listing them last night on Ebay. 

I haven't sold there in years, 

but I have to say it was easier to list merchandise than

I remember it being years ago! 

Did I save any for myself?

Yes, although it was a tough decision what to keep. 

I don't have them all listed yet.
