Yesterday Dear Husband, Emmy and I travelled out in the morning to go to a rummage sale. The ride was just gorgeous as the colors are still beautiful as we road over the mountain.
It was a church sale I had been to before and knew that it would be worthwhile. ended up with many pieces of clothing for the family, some bed sheets, baskets, a butter dish, books, and these beautiful hand embroidered linens - all for $14.00.
I love imagining the women who sat and made each of these and all of the time and care that went into each piece. I hope to make the time to do some of my own to perhaps become family heirlooms.
Enjoy your day today - it is a beautiful warm sunny day here in northern Vermont.
Warm wishes and blessings,
Tonya
Some Notes -
~ Tomorrow is the Handmade Holiday post. I have an upcycled wool project to share.
~ I have had several questions about the pattern for the knit baby pants. I altered the one from Vintage Knits for Modern Babies just a bit, and will share it on Wednesday
it is gorgeous here today too! love the vintage linens...what a wonderful find.
