Crocheted Potholders


I love these old crocheted potholders! 
Each design is unique and playful.
And you know me...  everything has to be in my favorite colors of blue and green.

  2. Isn't it amazing how much work someone took to make those beautiful potholders. Somehow just buying them at Walmart doesn't hold quite the same magic. Enjoy your treasures.

    Hope you enjoy the weekend.

  23. When my Mom was alive she used to make these very pot holders. I've seen each one of these styles handmade by her. I remember one year at a church bazaar she brought some of her pot holders and they disappeared before you knew what happen. She could have sold four or five times the number she made. Thanks for sharing. Connie :)

  24. I save the crocheted hot pads from the thrift store and have them as a border under my kitchen cabinets. They look adorable and each time I look at them it makes me smile.
