Barn Sale

IMGP3593

Last Saturday, Lumberjack, his family and I went out to his grandparents' house in rural Washington.  His grandfather passed away a few years ago, and this last weekend the family got together to have a barn sale of his old tools.  It was a pretty emotional day, but I felt really lucky to be included.  I never met his grandfather, but seeing so many things that he made or used - carpentry tools, fishing licenses, tractor, boat, tackle boxes - made me feel like I got a little glimpse of who he was.

I brought my camera with, and took a whole mess of pictures, of pretty much anything that I thought was beautiful, meaningful, or interesting.  I could say so much more, but I think for now I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Lumberjack, his mom, and I also went to a nearby yarn store, and I found some beautiful handspun, but that's a story for another day.  I'm really happy with a lot of these photos, and I hope that his family likes them too.
