When I saw this handmade vintage wool “daisy” afghan on Etsy for $20, I had four thoughts.
- That would make the coolest photography prop–the three different shades look great in B&W, too
- The yarn alone would cost far more than $20
- Even if I learned how to make something like that, I’d never finish
- Some poor woman is rolling over in her grave because her ungrateful decendents clearly have no clue how long it took her to make that blanket
I hope that it brings her restless soul some peace to know that I will treasure her handiwork. And I hope that my decendents know that I will haunt them mercilessly if they start selling off the heirlooms I’ve crafted for them. (Don’t even THINK ABOUT hawking the blessing dresses!)
