This feed sack has an almost Victorian design and is somewhat unusual in that it has a colored background rather than white! It’s a pale yellow with the pattern having dark gold, light gray, and black colors – very pretty. Feed sack has been opened and measures 35 ½” x 46”. It has been laundered, pressed, and is in wonderful condition.
This is a neat retro item – a clothes brush with zippered compartment that contains a mini sewing kit, tweezers, etc! Inside is stamped “Made in Germany for Rosenfeld”. The top is decorated with a poodle and flowers. In excellent condition – the poodle is decorated with white seed beads and a few are missing – that’s it!
This is a super neat sewing box made by Hommer Manufacturing Company! It’s a pretty marbleized blue color and has a clear removable tray. Excellent condition!
Lovely and unusual pattern on this vintage feed sack! It has a white background with a pattern of green clovers and blue flowers – very pretty. Feed sack has been opened and measures approximately 37” x 42”. It has been laundered and pressed, I did not bleach or pre-soak and I notice it has a couple rust color dots. Feed sack is in wonderful condition with a couple small holes/snags.
This is a colorful feed sack – red, pink, and white with blue fruit – and is from the same estate sale as the other feed sacks we’ve listed! This one was not properly opened – it appears as though the thread was cut or torn instead of being pulled/unraveled causing the material to have a somewhat jagged top edge. Because of this, the sack measures 33” in length. Side and bottom seam have not been removed/opened. Feed sack has been laundered and pressed. Very pretty!
This listing has a counted cross-stitch kit to make a beautiful Christmas tree skirt!
Kit contains: charted design, #14 Aida, floss organizer and cotton floss, metallic thread, iridescent thread, needles, beads, cording, and complete instructions.
Package has not been opened and still has remnants of original $40+ price tag/sticker!

This is another very colorful feed sack with a pretty pattern! It has been laundered, pressed, and is in wonderful condition. Feed sack has been incorrectly opened – I’m not certain how it occurred but it has an almost diagonal type seam/opening resulting in a “non-square”. It measures 47 ½” long and 38” wide but remember it’s not even/square. Do not be deterred – this is a very pretty piece of vintage material.

This is a super item that is not only very collectible but is very usable – it’s a handkerchief edgings book (15 pages) with a copyright date of 1949 and it’s a first edition! Some of the page headings are so cute – “Blow and Behold”, “Right on the Nose”, and (my favorite) “Will You be Mine?, Dainty edgings with come-hither ways”. Very good condition.
