I like this retailer for many things, just not the attempt to mass produce something that has history and is really lovely. I also like the grain sacks, wish I could afford to do something with an original. All the images of your home show warmth, history and most importantly authenticity! So don't kick Mr. Grainy out just yet. It's so hard to be original, I struggle with everyday in my own home!Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964224117445332873.post-74794400492168430522010-02-07T18:22:54.733-08:002010-02-07T18:22:54.733-08:00I'm conflicted when it comes to grain sacks.
