Vintage Goodness

Last week, when I spent a few days with my daughter, we went to two of our favorite antique malls.  I'm always on the lookout for vintage linens, trims, laces and buttons.  I came home with lots of  "new" old stuff and I can't wait to get started on all the ideas I have!

I found lots of hankies.




Colorful, simple and stitched linen towels.


Beautifully embroidered tablecloth with matching napkins.

A round pink and white tablecloth...my favorite color!

Embroidered table scarves.


Gorgeous cotton decorator fabric.

Fun trim.

Jars of buttons and miscellaneous sewing supplies.




I had so much fun picking and choosing what I wanted.  The best part is that I'm inspired every time I look at all this vintage goodness sitting in my sewing room!

    Great finds! I especially love the hankies--I saw a beautiful room once with a big display of framed hankies and have wanted my own collection ever since!

    They don't make sweet ladies hankies that those anymore, guess we have Kleenex to thank for that. :)
    You did find quite a treasure of goodies, I love all the hand embroidered items such as tablecloths and linen guest hand towels.
    Today I added your pretty blog to my sidebar list of My Favorite Blogs, it is a nice addition to my list and will be in good company. :)

    Vintage hankies always remind me of my Hungarian grandmother. She had boxes of them and was always making more.

    Those are always the number one thing I search for at thrift stores. If one was to buy trims and ribbons at full price...oh my!
    Fun finds!
