These days, anything that makes me laugh, chuckle, or snortle, is definitely worth the price, be it a video, a cartoon, or in this case, a “feedsack.” While I was casually browsing in an antiques store, I happened to look up and saw an item hanging on the wall. I will tell you what it is and what the words on the surface say.
“A Potato Sack: Looks like a sack, Feels like a sack, IS A SACK. Fill with 100 lbs. or more of charm, and save money on new French inspired creations. Guaranteed to lose shape without ironing. For evening wear, add Mink trimmings.”
At the bottom, the sack says, “Balloon lines.” Along each side are the words, “Trapeze Line,” and across the “bust” area,” are the words, “Empire Line.”
I like having things around that make me smile. This is one of them. I may have Jim take a photo of it sometime, but for now, it is so wrinkled, the picture wouldn’t come out well, so I think I’ll wait until I can discover how best to handle that situation. Any ideas? I don’t want to iron it.
