New Combination of Vintage Items

The old radio was my grandfather's. He loved to tell the story of how a group clustered around it listening to the original broadcast (that was later identified as a hoax) about the invasion from outer space.

The ceramic tree was given to us as a wedding present (33+ years ago).

The pair of singing choir boys was purchased by my husband when he was a young teen for his grandmother's Christmas present. They come out of their original box each year and share space with the tree.

The framed piece is a fabric kaleidoscope that I pieced during a class at JCCFS a few years ago (it isn't nearly as old as the other items in the photo).

But this year (as of today), they now sit on a vintage table runner than came from my mother's house. I used to iron it as a child and it was always placed on one particular end table in our house.

Now, it has been quilted and bound and will have a new life beyond where it has already been. . . I love how the free motion quilting Chris added "feels" like swirling snow!

MRI this afternoon on the knee ~ no idea when I'll have the results. At least the brace and the Mobic are helping while I wait.
