Do yall remeber this summer I told you I found a crazy 70's quilt in Terrell TX? Well, here they are! Hate to say, took longer than I thought.. but worth it, right? 100& poly quilt squares back with Sisboom (tm) fabric. Size is about 18x18.
Found these quilt squares at my local consignment store - just couldn't pass them up! So here they are re purposed into adorable throw pillows for your little girls bed (or yours!)
Each is 14x14 and cover with a vintage sunbonnet quilt and new cotton fabric.
Please remember that vintage & antique items are not mint, nor are they perfect, but they sure are full of old history and charm
A little something for my new niece Eva in Denver. Cotton onesie with 2 vintage hankees as the skirt! Top hankee has an "E" and bottom hankee has a colorful crochet edge!
She will be the envy at all playdates in Denver !!!!

Kathryn Janes does it again! How cute is this picture? 3 lovely ladies modeling my new "Tatum" Apron Dress! Want one?
Since Keely is out of the business (sorry doll!) I am taking a stab at Whimsy Wipes!
I just think they are the cutest idea.. and are actually something you can use!
Each wet wipe container is covered in some sort of vintage goodness... whether it's a table cloth, cross-stich, trim or button. Each and every one is one-of-a-kind!
Know a little boy that needs some cool threads? Here is my latest design for the little man in your life. Made from a 100% cotton romper... each has an applique with a vintage handkerchief.. choose from a guitar, stegosauras, spider or a frog!
Ok, so maybe no one plays that game anymore.... but I thought it sounded cute.
So, I was in one of my favorite antique stores in Ridgefield, The Silver Lining, and found some great vintage mother-of-pearl buttons... and of course I can't pass some things up. Of course, then I had to come up with something to justify my purchase....
And I'm not the only one who thinks they are cute - I just sold the one I was wearing right off my neck at the grocery store! Too fun!
My newest addition.... vintage postcards! These are neat little gifts for holidays and special occasions. Framed vintage postcards from the early 1900's. Some have not been used, but the neat thing is some still have the stamps on them with the well wishes from one to another...
Well - here is my latest and greatest! Calling it Mimi after my little model :-) Cotton turtle neck onesie (so you can be a lady and hide your diaper) and the skirt is made from a vintage chenille bed cover... how cute is that?
