i am a bigtime wanna be crochet girl

i found this vintage treasure yesterday at an estate sale....i was coming around a hall corner into a bedroom at the sale when i spotted it and scooped it up instantly xoxo
had to have an outside shot in the sweet sunshine xo

19 X 16 = 304 flowers = a priceless amount of hooking xo



it washed well and needs a few small repairs...i LOVE the scalloped edge

and the COLOR!!
i don't even know how to crochet but i think i need to learn...i am so drawn to it ...check this out to see one big reason WHY
