I did get to the thrift store and a couple sales this past week but I tried really hard to be quite choosy as to what I bought.
|
Here is most of the stuff minus a few books. |
|
Two embroidery hoops at Goodwill for .25 each that I am going to turn into wall art using the tablecloth I already had. |
|
An adorable children's pajama pattern found at Goodwill. I just love the picture! The little girl is combing her hair and the joy on the little boy's face is fabulous! |
|
A lovely painted box found at an estate sale (I bought 2 books at the sale as well - a Moosewood Cookbook for me and a field guide for my nephew). The ship book ends were found at a different estate sale where I also bought the silver jewelry box in the photo below. The sunflower linen above and the Dutch children linen below were found at a garage sale along with the best pick of the week...keeping scrolling to see what that is! |
|
I am drawn to crewel these days! This Japanese winter scene was found at Goodwill for 1/2 off.
It is lovely and has a great texture! |
|
I picked this crewel up the week before and forgot to take a picture. I LOVE it! I found it at a garage sale for .50 and it is already hanging on my dining room wall. |
|
My second favorite find of the week! This dala horse (and the two Scandinavian wooden plates in the first photo) were found at a little flea market. I paid $2 for this fabulous little guy! He will be living at my house and is already liking his new home amongst my other wooden ethnic painted pieces. |
|
AND the piece de resistance (did I spell that right???)! A vintage feedsack quilt in the double wedding ring pattern! And I paid $20! (And that included the sunflower and Dutch kids linens!) It is in near perfect condition with no stains or tears! Have not decided where this is going to go - online, Weekend Cottage in Clear Lake or up north to Exit 55 in Fergus Galls or Yesterday's in Alexandria. I am just loving this find! |

ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome quilt! I found a feedsack quilt at a garage/estate sale for $25. It is probably one of my Top 5 or maybe even Top 3 finds EVER! Your quilt is just beautiful. And I love the Dutch redwork. :)
