Then I went through several bags of quilt scraps, all kinds of material she had kept,
for years, maybe some had been left over, and placed in stacks or rolls, groups,
or whatever, in paper grocery bags, several of them. It was mostly old polyester
types of stuff, some solid, and some with textures and lines, or multiple
colors, large pieces that appeared to be left over cutoffs, plenty big
enough, to cut a lot of pieces for a few quilts...
All of a sudden, when I was running my hand down into one bag,
down under the material, I felt a little metal box, and said bingo,
as I pulled it out. It was an old Sucrets tin, and it was full of
old coins. There were buffalos, and wheats, a two-pence,
maybe a few dimes, and several various foreign coins.
Nothing of any real high value, but a really neat little
treasure surprise, that I had never seen before, had not
known of, or heard about, that I will always prize...
