I'm sooooooooooo excited! A friend of mine, said that his mom was going to put a bunch of his granny's old stuff on ebay, and he saw some crochet stuff in a box that they were going thru. Then he asked me if I wanted the box, so I said YES please!! I thought it would be old yarn & stuff like that maybe a few hooks etc.. well today he brought me the box and OMG!! It weighs over 50lbs!! eek and its FULL of crochet mags, pattern books, graphs, & stuff like that!! <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I havent had a chance to lQQk all the way thru it yet.. but I can't wait to sit down, and just take my time & lQQk everything over!!! I did see some really old pattern books, marked 10�!! From the 30's & 40's maybe older.. I'm not sure, but they are all doily patterns, very old!! & one pattern book has the most awesome fruit & veggie patterns, and one is all stuffed animals. There are soooo many!! I still can't believe it!! I will say, people sure use to dress funny!!

That is so much fun to get old pattern books. My mom gave me all her old pattern books and handwritten patterns on my last visit and it is so much fun to crochet vintage things. It really is a treasure and you know what??? If you hold on to them long enough the style will come back and you will be ahead of the game...
