More vintage linens!

Love this quilt. It's a Grandma's Flower Garden quilt. I am guessing from the materials that it was made in the 30's. It's big too. This picture was taken on my king size bed!

I think this is my favorite square. I love the dainty little flowers!


And I love this set of Days Of The Week Kitchen Towels. All hand embroidered. Cute kittens!



My favorite is the sleeping kitty on Sunday. That's what I feel like doing right now!

Sadly I am going to part with all of the linens and other antique things that I show on this blog. I did some investigating and found out more about the doll from this post. She is from the early 1900's and is a Minerva #5. They will be coming in to Mystic Paper if you are local and would like to see them in person. If you're not local just leave a comment and an e-mail and I can send you more pictures.
Have a great day!

Vintage loveliness...
Being married to DH really has some advantages. I have alot of nicnames for him, but the one that he is best known as is "the peddler". He still gets phone calls from people asking him to come to their homes and buy their unwanted "stuff". Sometimes he lets me tag along and boy I'm glad I did this time! I love vintage linens. Especially the ones that are found in this kind of condition. These sets of pillow cases are hand embroidered and crocheted. Aren't they pretty?

The colors aren't really showing up as bright and beautiful as they really are. Love the umbrellas!


Doesn't the dresser scarf look great on my vanity!


This doll is definitely well loved! The woman said it belonged to her mother who passed away at the age of 102. She has a metal head which I haven't seen before and a handmade cloth body and clothing.


Here's a closeup of her head. Kinda scary but cute in a vintage way!


I'll show the rest of my finds later. Parting with these is going to be tough. Have a great day!
