I had the best intentions of doing a collection challenge today. I have not missed a week of posting since I first started that category in April of 2010.
Yesterday I had an invitation that involved this door. It is the door to a crawlspace in the house of an Aunt Tillie. She was a hoarder. A friend of mine has been cleaning out Aunt Tillie's house for quite some time and I was invited to tackle this spot with her. We were hoping it held vintage Christmas as Aunt Tillie had quite the holiday decorations from the photos I have seen.
I spent 7 hours hauling stuff out of the crawlspace and sorting through the boxes. My timing to take photos and do a post for collection challenge was derailed.
Blog post coming on the crawl space tomorrow (I hope). It was a very, very interesting time. For now I am dead tired and off to bed.
Sounds like fun challenge, right up your alley!, Can't wait to see what you came home with!!

Dang. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear about this infamous crawl space. If it had cobwebs and spiders, it would be right up my husband's alley!

You are more than forgiven for having to forego a weekly challenge post! I've admired you for doing it so regularly all this time, but the crawlspace adventure was one that couldn't be missed.
Looking forward to your post on what you found!

Aunt Tillie!!! Even the name is interesting and vintage. That crawl space looks like it could hold some mighty fine treasures. I hope it did!!
