Vintage Cross Stitched Pineapple in wooden frame

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 19:16:28 -0500

$8.00
This listing is for a charming little cross stitched pineapple framed in a pretty wooden frame. Sampler is accented with a rust colored matte with decorative hand painted swirls. This cute vintage piece is most likely from the eighties.

The pineapple is a symbol of hospitality. This would be a perfect gift for a friend who has shown that quality to you in a special way. This would also be a wonderful gift for a friend who has just bought a new home or who loves to be a hostess! Lots of possibilities...

The frame measures 6 in X 8 in. It is 3/4 in thick. This cross stitched picture has been customed framed. Hook is already mounted to back of frame for easy wall display!

This piece is in great vintage condition. There are a few small scratches in the wood, but these are barely noticeable. They do not in any way take away from the charm and functionality of the piece. In fact, I think they give it more character!

This would make a darling gift for that special friend!

Adorable one-of-a-kind little vintage piece.

This vintage glass mug measures 3 in. in diameter and 3 3/8 in tall. It is in great condition.

Vintage Italian Tea Towel / Wall Hanging - Lago di Garda

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 23:38:25 -0500

$14.00
This vintage cloth is amazing! I love the vibrant colors and fun retro fonts of Italian words. I am not exactly sure what this vintage treasure was originally used for - perhaps as a decorative tea towel, or a one-of-a-kind wall hanging. Lots of fun possibilities here - you could even make a fantastic little pillow or curtain out of the fabric!

This cloth depicts Lago di Garda, the largest lake in Italy. Charming little scenes throughout, as well as the names of the Italian towns bordering the lake. So fabulous!

Poly/cotton tea towel measures 18.25 in X 27.5 in and is in excellent vintage condition. There are a few tiny stains (see fourth photo). There is also a little pull in the fabric (see last photo). Both of these imperfections do not in any way take away from the charm and functionality of the piece. In fact, I think they give it more character.

This towel was most likely used as a sports towel on the courts, but it would also look adorable in a sports themed bathroom or as a child's larger sized washcloth.

The pair of tennis racquets look like a little patch that has been handsewn onto the towel. (see up close photos for detail)

Vintage Handmade Tablecloth with Embroidered Playing Card Suits

$11.00
This listing is for a one-of-a-kind vintage tablecloth, embroidered with the suits of a deck of playing cards: spades, diamonds, hearts, and clubs - all in the very 50's retro shades of peach, grey, and light blue. So fun and unique! It is very soft from many years of tender loving wear. This tablecloth is at least 40-50 years old. (It comes straight from Great Aunt Jeanne's linen closet and has many years of use still left in it!)

Can't you just imagine Jeanne with her ladies' bridge club sitting around the card table laughing and eating finger sandwiches, while playing bridge?!

This tablecloth would be perfect for that late night card game with friends! Or you could use the fabric / embroidered bits in your sewing projects. Lots of possibilities!

This tablecloth is in fair vintage condition. It feels like a heavy weighted linen, but could also possibly be a poly/cotton blend. The edges are deliciously frayed and oh, so shabby chic! There are several stained places on the ivory cloth (see last two photos for examples), but the embroidered areas are in excellent vintage condition. These imperfections do not take away from the antique charm or functionality of this tablecloth. In fact, I think they give it more character! What a fantastic little piece of history!

Lots of great vintage fabric to work with!

The sleeping/waking Mickey pillowcase has a run in the fabric - it is not very noticeable and does not take away from the vintage charm and functionality of the case. (see fourth photo for detail - it looks like two parallel lines down the left hand side of Mickey's face and hand - very faint)

Both cases have the DISNEY label on the front.

Unique One of a Kind Seventies Vintage Hand-Tied Quilt

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:55:58 -0500

$50.00
This treasure was tucked away in a cedar chest. I found it at an estate sale. This quilt was hand tied with ivory embroidery thread. This quilt covers the top of a double sized bed. It does not have batting, but is still a heavy weighted quilt due to the heavy upholstery and decorater weight fabrics used. The back is a fabulous 70's cotton floral with bright colors. Very unusual and full of color! Every color of the rainbow! A great vintage find! I've NEVER seen a quilt like this one before - it truly is one of a kind!

This handmade cotton apron measures 18.5 in across the top and the ties are each 26 in long. Plenty of room to tie around your waist! The apron is 20.5 in long (including the ruffled edge).

This fabric is very lightweight so you won't get too hot while you work. It is in good condition, especially considering its age. There are two small holes (see fourth photo for detail of the larger hole) and there is a frayed piece on one of the ruffled edges (see last photo for detail). The fabric has faded throughout the years, but it is super soft!

I believe that the little imperfections on this apron add to its vintage charm. I especially love the knot in one of the ties. I can just imagine the fifties housewife wearing it, and I wonder how that knot came to be. (Maybe her little boy tied it behind her back while she was fixing supper) :)

One of a kind and very retro. Snatch it up before it's gone!

Festive Vintage Handmade Tablecloth - Retro Red and Green Flowers

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 20:49:17 -0500

$14.00
This listing is for a fantastic vintage tablecloth, most likely from the sixties or seventies. The fabric is such a cute retro floral - little white and bright blue flowers with bold green and black leaves on a happy red background. Very fun! This tablecloth would really add a lot to your kitchen or dining room table, especially this time of year. It is very cheery and one-of-kind.

The poly/cotton round tablecloth measures 70 inches in diameter.

It appears to be handmade. The tablecloth is made up of three sections sewn together (see fourth photo for detail).

It is in excellent condition. There is one small run in the fabric (see last photo for detail), but it is barely noticeable, and does not in any way take away from the charm and functionality of the piece.

Machine washable.

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:42:44 -0500

$8.00
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." ~Matthew 4:19

The bible verse above was the inspiration to this one-of-a-kind bracelet. A pretty little reminder to share your faith.

This bracelet was made with vintage beads and pearls in the loveliest shades of pink. A simple silver-toned ichthus fish charm dangles near the clasp. Bracelet, strung on monofilament, is finished off with a silver-toned toggle clasp closure.

The bracelet measures 6 5/8 in long. The fish charm is 3/4 in long. (fyi-this is a relatively short bracelet for someone with a smaller sized wrist. Make sure to measure your wrist to ensure that it will fit you!)

Made with love and prayers.

"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb." ~Revelation 22:1

The bible verse above was the inspiration to this unique necklace. God's river is flowing with life!

This necklace was made with vintage beads in the prettiest shade of blue. Silvery pearls accent the gorgeous iridescent shell pendant. The pendant reminds me of a wave. So pretty! Necklace, strung on monofilament, is finished off with a silver-toned toggle clasp closure.

The last photo shows the underside of the pendant, which is equally beautiful.

The necklace measures 14.25 n long. The pendant is 1 3/8 in wide X 1 3/8 in long. (fyi-this is a relatively short necklace - almost has the look of a choker.)

"I cannot sit and chat with you,

I love to drink my nightly cup of cafe francais (the one in that comes in the little metal box) in a vintage coffee cup. It makes me smile! Here's a super-cute pair for you and your honey to enjoy together!

This listing is for two fantastic retro mugs. One features a great overalls silouette, the other an apron with little strawberries. I've named the pair "The Farmer and His Wife."

These mugs would make a fantastic wedding shower gift or wedding gift. They would also be a great housewarming present.

These mugs both measure approximately 3.25 in. in diameter and 3.75 in tall. They are in excellent vintage condition.

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:33:35 -0500

$10.00
The aqua in this vintage scarf is just beautiful! I believe that this scarf was part of a uniform for a bank employee. There is a Wesbank logo on the corners of the scarf. The circles in the aqua, ivory, and navy print almost look like little coins. Very cute!

This South African scarf measures approximately 25 in X 25 in and is in excellent condition. It feels like silk, but I think it is a rayon blend. Very soft and silky. Machine washable.

Vintage Oneida Rosebud Baby Spoon from England

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:32:35 -0500

$12.00
The Afternoon Bag, is named for the time of day I made this: in the afternoon, on a day when my four little ones decided to all nap at the same time. This bag is the result of my time spent at my sewing machine in the quiet afternoon.

Shabby Chic Rose features a lovely pre-quilted reversible floral fabric. Romantic roses in all the classic colors - beige, oatmeal, coral, peach, deep rose pink... The interior of the bag features a coordinating smaller floral print. Pre-quilted straps in a lovely shade of oatmeal.

This is the perfect smaller sized bag for an afternoon lunch out on the town. Lots of room to hold your cell phone, wallet, a little makeup bag, and keys. Very pretty!

Here's the measurements:

11.25 inches wide
9 inches long (not including straps)
15.5 inches long (including straps)
(straps are triple-stitched for extra reinforcement!)

Fabric for body of bag is repurposed from new quilted placemats. Straps are from new pre-quilted fabric.

Perfect Peace Bracelet featuring vintage beads and peace charm

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:32:24 -0500

$8.00
"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you." II Thessalonians 3:16

The bible verse above was the inspiration to this one-of-a-kind bracelet. A pretty little reminder of the perfect peace God gives us!

This bracelet was made with the most beautiful vintage plastic beads in a gorgeous sea foam green/blue. A simple silver-toned "peace" charm dangles near the clasp. Bracelet, strung on monofilament, is finished off with a silver-toned toggle clasp closure.

The bracelet measures 7 in long. The fish charm is 7/8 in long. (fyi-this is a relatively short bracelet for someone with a smaller sized wrist. Due to the chunky size of the beads, there is no extra give. Make sure to measure your wrist to ensure that it will fit you!)

Made with love and prayers.

If you are giving this bracelet as a gift, I will be happy to gift-wrap it, free of charge. Just convo me!

Set of Four Vintage Pillowcases - Sunny Days - Cutter Bundle

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 09:14:00 -0500

$8.00
This listing is for four happy vintage pillowcases - three featuring sunshiney golds and oranges and one pretty white pillowcase with a sweet eyelet hem. These pillowcases remind me of a sunny day on a farm, with sweet white cotton nightgowns hanging out on the line outside. They are so cheery and would make adorable "pillowcase dresses", as well as pillows, purses, bags, softies, baby accessories, etc. Lots of great vintage fabric to work with!

This set is less expensive than my normal vintage pillowcase sets because it is a "cutter bundle" set. That means that the cases have some small flaws that would be easy to cut around when working on small sewing projects.

Set includes:
*One retro orange, gold, and khaki floral pillowcase (has a tiny hole)
*One pretty pale yellow and sage green floral pillowcase (has a few small stains)
*One shabby chic muted floral pillowcase (has a few small ink stains)
*One sweet white pillowcase with a beautiful eyelet hem (has a few small stains)

All fabric is cotton or poly/cotton.

Vintage U.S. Army Silk Pillow Cover with Fringe

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:33:00 -0500

$8.00
This listing is for an amazing vintage pillow cover, most likely from the forties. This pillow cover features the words (gold flocked) "U.S. ARMY", "FORT LEWIS, WASHINGTON", and a variety of military scenes such as a soldier saluting, a tank, an eagle, the flag, etc.., all on a beautiful light red silk or satin that's been faded through the years. The back is a rich wine fabric with an opening on one side for the pillow to fit through. It is finished off with a gold and red braided trim and fantastic fringe.

Quite a conversation piece!

This pillow cover fits a 15 in X 15 in pillow and is in great vintage condition. There is one small mark on the fabric (see last photo), and the seam has come apart in a small spot near the pillow opening. Both of these tiny imperfections do not in any way take away from the charm and functionality of this piece.

Interior pillow is NOT included. This listing is for the pillow cover only.

I love this amazing vintage handmade quilted turkey, most likely made in the 70s or 80s. It is so fun! Lots of love and work went into making this cute turkey that is meant to hang on a door or wall.

This turkey features several vintage calico fabrics and a cute button "eye". A layer of batting is in between the fabric front and back to give the turkey extra "stuffing", and a plastic ring is sewn on the back for easy display.

Beautiful Vintage Fringed Hankie with Embroidered Flowers

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:35:39 -0500

$4.00
This listing is for a beautiful little embroidered hankie with fringe on the edges. Imagine all the work that went into making this beautiful vintage treasure! Super soft from years of loving wear. There is a small tear in the fabric (see last photo), but it still has lots of years of use left in it - (personally, I think these little imperfections add to the charm of vintage treasures like these)! Keep this little beauty in your purse to wipe your eyes from a happy cry. Or you could also use this as embellishment in sewing projects. Or simply put it on top of a bedside table for a romantic vintage look. This hankie would also look lovely displayed in a frame on a wall!

I am pretty sure that this hankie is made of linen. It is lightweight and soft. Washes very well in the washing machine. Measures approximately 13.5 in X 13.5 in and has rounded corners.

Set of Six Vintage Handmade Pillow Covers - Fruits and Veggies

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:53:53 -0500

$9.00
This listing is for six vintage handmade pillow covers, featuring a cute retro blue and white gingham print with fruits and vegetables. Very fun! So kitsch and one-of-a-kind! These would make fantastic seat covers for your kitchen or dining room table...

These pillowcovers, probably made in the eighties, were mostly machine-sewn, but one side was sewn by hand (see last photo for detail). The underside of the covers is a solid cornflower blue.

There is lots of fun vintage fabric to work with if you choose not to use them as pillow covers!

These poly/cotton pillow covers measure approximately 17 in X 20 in, and are in great vintage condition. There is one small white paint stain on one cover (see fourth photo for detail). Also, these handmade covers were not perfectly sewn (ie. uneven stitching, puckers, etc... - see all photos for details). These small imperfections do not in any way take away from the charm and functionality of the pillow covers. In fact, I think they give them more vintage character!

This tablecloth would be perfect for that late night card game with friends! Or as a pretty tablecloth to cover an extra table for those showers or family gatherings where extra seating / food display is needed. Lots of possibilities!

This tablecloth is in good vintage condition. It feels like linen, but could also possibly be a poly/cotton blend. There are some light stains on the tablecloth, but these are barely noticeable. There's also a few little places on the embroidery where the stitching has come loose (see all photos for detail.) And lastly, there is some fraying and loose stitching on a few of the ties that could be easily mended (see last photo for detail). All of these small imperfections do not take away from the antique charm or functionality of this tablecloth. In fact, I think they give it more character!
