still thinking about pillows and textiles.....

grain sacks are wonderfully charming and 

have a great deal of history to them.

they are quite rare and of course very valuable.

Kymberley Fraser of 3 Fine Grains

has been collecting these sacks for years. these sacks are around 

100 years old and 

are hemp linen in a herringbone 

pattern. most originals have patches

that only increases its value.

these chair and pillows are just charming and elegant.

their history definitely gives a sophistication and elegance

that only something handmade and 

100 years old can give.

when done correctly, these textile chairs and pillows

could go in a dining room,  kitchen, even a bedroom.

they are simply great.

some of these can be found on ebay:

i just adore these grain bags with the traditional

stripes. i think they would 

look great going down a staircase.

put feathers in this grain sack and you have a beautiful pillow

i would love

 to start collecting several and make bedding,hand bags  or even 

window coverings,

maybe a chair covering

these gems 

are very versatile...

i LOVE this winged chair!

 

so off i go antiquing ..... trying to find deals

on old grain bags...

i will turn these old sacks into 

something modern, and beautiful and each piece

will have a story to tell.
