I love to shop and use feed and grain sacks in my house. It brings a bit of charm and texture in the room. I have several quilts that feed sacks were used as the backing from my great grandmothers family. I have several chairs reuphostered by 2 artists that I adore. I also use scraps to creat fabric rolls, ribbons and embelish clothes.
Ann, from On Sutton Place, has a great post on grain sacks https://www.onsuttonplace.com/antique-grain-sacks/. Feed sacks and grain sacks were used by manufactures for dry goods and animal feed. Grain sacks usually are hemp. I love both.
One of my favorite places to get feedsacks is in Pennsylvania @ http://www.pheasantrunantiques.com/ in West Sadsbury. When we visit my daughter I love to go to. I missed my spring trip there, hopefully next year!
I also love old tool aprons as well. Of course, I had to buy this one it has Hubbard on it!
Hubby recovered both of our steps stools. The bottom one was his mom step stool and he would not get rid of it. I am so glad we kept it.
Those pillows up front use the tool aprons to hold romotes and books (smart girl GiGi).
I hope you have some Sunshine today. We have rain So I will continue cleaning and reorganizing. I can’t wait to show you my painting area and the supplies I just got.
