As it happened, their neighborhood was having a big yard sale earlier in the day that we couldn't attend, but some people still were selling when we got to their house in the late afternoon.

First it was Pia and the muslin, now it's Dinah and the sewing machine.Apparently she, too, is eager to find out how the collar will work out on my muslin (see previous post). I just sat down to work on it and suddenly there she was.You can just get a little glimpse of one of my prized possessions in the background, which I hope to photograph in detail sometime when the ...
