<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello Friends! Long Time - No Post! Wow, how time flies and life just takes over! Hope all of you are doing well. :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can hardly believe, I've been offering my vintage finds and handmade pillows and stockings online for 8 years - wow! Where did the time go? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've got something to share with y'all... for the first time, EVER! I am clearing my shop. All vintage items, including chenilles, quilts, duvet covers and other bed linens, home decor and accessories - everything but some of my handmade items. The sale runs until all items in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/catnapcottage?section_id=14327186&ref=shopsection_leftnav_1" target="_blank">Clearance Section</a> of my shop are gone off to new homes. I've even included new arrivals - and will continue to add to it weekly. On August 1st, I will further reduce the items left and will do the same thing on September 1st.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you've shopped with me before, you have your "thankyou10" coupon for an additional discount. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are wondering if I am going anywhere - No! :-) It is just time for me to change gears a bit and pass things along. Over the years, I have acquired so much inventory and I am trying to work up to destashing some of my private collections - that's gonna take some thinking and praying and crying! LOL!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by today - enjoy your Summer!!</span></div>

They are crafted with vintage domestic grainsack bags... bemis, chase, fulton - all heavy duty cotton bags. Bemis originally made their bags to hold 100 pounds of seed and grain back in the 20s. After making pillows for years, we've accumulated quite a few stacks of remants, so in the spirit of "waste not, want not", we are happy to offer these bags. <br />
