New Vintage Finds on Vacation

I just can resist while on holiday with my husband to at least stop at one thrift shop to look for some aprons and fabrics.


Black and white floral table cloth.




Cute little white apron makes hostessing look fun.


Burgundy scrolls on creme valance, will make a lovely apron.

Teacher themed apron with encouraging sayings, "Sow Seeds of Greatness"




Reminds me think of headless horseman or the God Father with the horse head in the bed scene. It actually is a cute western horse apron.

My Vintage Fabric Finds

Today I went to my local upscaled recylced shops and thrift stores.

I have been admiring my friend Sherry Marrero's finds and just thought I needed to check them out too.
I had bought and used thrift fabric finds before I ran across Sherry's blogs, but after seeing her wonderful finds it inspired me to go back and check them out for myself.





(Rose applique curtians)

I get so excited buying fabric and thinking about what I might make with it. It so thrilling and enticing. I would much rather buy fabric than anything else.

(Rose basket table cloth)

I didn't find any cool sheets but found fabrics, and table cloths that could make lovely aprons.


(Victorian golf shower curtain)

The thrill of creating things is something someone just has to experience and to really understand how a crafter can get so excited just purchasing mediums in the raw.



(Polo shower curtain)

Now to decide what to make with my wonderful finds.
