Old Glory

Look what I found.



Just in time for the 4th.





Old Glory.  It was in a bag full of vintage linens, at a garage sale.  I bought the whole bag, or course.




This vintage flag has 48 stars, and a beautiful worn patina.




I love it.

    Beautiful flag! I need get a new one as mine is a bit torn. I'd better do that before the 4th! xoxo, Leena

    That is exciting Rosemary. I had a flag over my bed while I was in High School. I could see that in many places. Have a lovely 4th. xoxo, Olive

    Cool stuff! Just wondering if you have any more pork belly sacks. (It looks like you are sold out in your shop.)

    Do NOT sell Old Glory! A 48-star flag is rare, and it should be yours as you're so patriotic by helping the economy, Lady!

    Love the old flag...and it's in such GREAT SHAPE.

    I never seem to find goodies like that at the yard sales. Gotta go more often, I guess.
