Just perused this older blog of yours from over six months ago (I am catching up on others' blogs!) and YES, I DO remember "stoles" - my Mom and all of her sisters each had one! Ha-ha! I have never been to an estate sale, believe it or not (I am from Brooklyn, NY and moved to CT about 13 years ago, and have never be to an estate sale). Maybe I should consider going!
