Antique goodness...

 I fell in love with this antique baby quilt at the antique store today...The simplicity of the pattern and using a variety of fabric.  It was such a sweet little quilt that had been loved literally to pieces...

A closer shot of the block...thought I might duplicate this sweet little pattern...true love....

Aqua...

Curtis wanted to go into town today...He consented to take me to the antique store. I found a few wonderful vintage aqua pieces...this little number was sat on a stand of some sort with a burner. It probably was a fondue dish in it's former life....
I was absolutely drooling over this piece. It was just elegant. Curtis of course thought it was stupid, so we'll see if I get it or not...
Fell in love with this little saucepan. How happy and bright, so totally 1950's...Have you found anything aqua lately that you love????

Old is New Again...

Yesterday, Curtis and I had a lunch date. After having some Chinese food, Curtis took me to an antique store. I scored on some fun antique linens. Check out this beautiful cross-stitched table cloth as well as two pillowcases and a fun table runner featuring strawberries.

A close up of the embroidery. I thought it was a fun and refreshing embroidery technique that I would like to try out. I may repurpose this runner into something fun...haven't decided yet.

Another shot of the linens.

I just adore beautiful things and while they still have some life in them, I'll use and enjoy them.
