Yes please, more diary! Maybe I missed it . . . did this sewing table come from an antique store or rummage sale, or has it been in your family? Do you know who this woman is, or is it totally a found letter?

Have you ever checked out http://www.foundmagazine.com? It’s a huge collection of this kind of stuff . . . so cool!

Love this little treasure from the past. I have one of those sewing stands too–I suspect they were widely available from the Sears catalog or some such. Mine didn’t come with any bonus material, though. Thank you for sharing it.

The Florence Show! Better than reality TV. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Oh my, do I love hearing the Florence stories! It reminds me of a much more interesting version of my old postcard collection, my favorite of which bears the solitary sentence, “I git my pinsion.” All (sic), of course.

And I do love that pink Habu…

Oh, the Florence story is exciting, thanks for sharing it!! Eagerly awaiting the next installment (and more of your knitting adventures as well, of course). We will find out with whom she ends up, won’t we?? It will be very frustrating if the book just sort of peters out at some point with no dramatic conclusion. Maybe Bob just went away to earn enough so that he can come back and claim her gallantly, but when he does he’ll find she’s been seeing every boy in town and will abandon her.
