Great Grandma Graham's Tea Towels


Chris, Grandpa Graham, Grandma Graham, & Me

The frames!!!

Number 465 of paint.....all of which didn't crackle!

My Yarn cabinet...it's full and so are the baskets beside it. I found some vintage knitting magazines at a flea market, so it makes a good display...including the glass washboard Aunt JJ gave me!

Luke figuring out how to frame the tea towels
Over Thanksgiving Ma gave me tea towels that my Great Grandma had embroidered. I knew immediately what I wanted to do with them. With Luke's BIG help, I was able to put them on display in our living room. We used a closet door....which we tried to crackle paint...and ended up just using good old sand paper. We hung them in 8x10 frames all with ribbon. I even put up a picture that I found of Me and Chris with Grandma and Grandpa Graham. I think it turned out lovely! I wonder what Grandma Graham would think of it now!
