More Fabrics!
I finally got to using those vintage linen calendars like I said I would! I have about 20 c0ffee cans that I just kept saying: "They can be used for something..." So, this was what I came up with. In addition to the linen calendars, I used some vintage Vera fabric and some vintage bed sheet fabric. I love the results! Eco friendly too!
Find them in the [shop]

Crafting.
Summer is wonderful. I feel like I get so much more done. This afternoon I found a project on Martha Stewart.com [here] about how to use an old pillowcase to create a tote bag. Cute! If there is one thing I have, its vintage pillowcases. Now, I found the directions to be somewhat difficult, so after pondering, making mistakes, breaking a needle, and Pete having to fix my machine, this is what I came up with.
I think that once I can get a little better, they might pop up in one of my shops sometime soon! I want to add some embellishments, like buttons or rick rack and I need to get better at my sewing! They would be perfect for a quick trip to the grocery store, post office, or farmer's market.

New Vintage Fabrics
New vintage fabrics in the shop this weekend. I am especially in love with the folk/Scandinavian print. I only wish that I has a use for it. There is just something sosoothing about cutting and folding vintage fabric. I just feel so relaxed as I smooth it out and fold it carefully, feeling the texture and weight.

Vintage Fabric on Etsy
I was just browsing though Etsy's vintage fabric...
spades290- $8.00
pinkcozycottage- $15.99
Vintage fabric is one of my most sought after items when I am traveling to yard sales. I love love the feeling of washing, pressing, & folding fabric. The patterns from the past are not only inspiring, but completely original to what can be found in fabric stores today.
