Vintage Crafty Supplies

Vintage lace and velvet ribbon.

Thread, thread, and more thread...

I went to my parents house this past weekend, their friends were there having a yard sale full of vintage craft supplies (most from the 1960's)

Glad I don't have to darn socks...

Here is some of the goodies

Vintage buttons, yarn, embroidery hoops, fabric...

Look cream crocheted circles (I think I will make a "snowflake" garland with them)

A craft cozy, I would love a purse made out of this daisy print...

And the mother lode was this awesome apron...

♥ the fabric...

Vintage Typewriter Table

When Spike and I went to Sutter Creek in July,

I found this metal vintage typewriter table for 5 bucks...

Now, I do love gray, but I am wondering if I should paint it??

If so, what color... I need some bloggy help...

Vintage Granny Decor

I had the opportunity to play "American Pickers" a couple weeks ago, in my friends 90 year old grandparents barns... It was the BEST day!

The history of their home built by her grandfather in the 40's.

Contained in these barns were treasures...

I brought home this painting...

Two of these metal frames with floral prints...

These horse paint by numbers are from a church parking lot sale, but I wanted to share them, they are dated 1952...

I unearthed this scale in one of the barns...

Chicken feeders... I am in ♥, Her grandparents were poultry farmers....

Hiding way, way back in the barn was this AMAZING tricycle...

A giant spool, I plan to use on the patio as a side table...

Then this past weekend I went to a yard sale in my parents neighbors, 3 of these vintage aprons are from there... A dollar a piece!

I could NOT resist this granny rocker...

Plus it is the MOST comfortable chair in the house!

LOVE the fabric and texture... $20.00

An old dresser on mini casters also $20.00...

It also came with a fancy mirror... Not sure what color I am going to paint it yet...

Lamp and Lamp Shade redo...

I purchased this milk glass lamp at Goodwill for $5.00...

Came home and painted the "brass" and wood with Caribbean {color} Apple Barrel paint and used Ralph Lauren's white wash over the paint....

The shade need major help too, I bought a yard of really light aqua fabric from the $1.50 a yard section at Walmart, cut strips, used the longest stitch on my sewing machine to ruffle the fabric and hot glued the fabric on... <

Granny Goodness

Long time no type... Also it's been a long time no thrifting...

Yesterday I was able to go to a couple favorite shops, I ended up finding a bag with TWO quilts inside, I asked the girl at the counter if I could open it and look at them...

Pure Goodness I tell you,

the colors AWESOME

the techniques AWESOME

the price...

$5.99

also known as AWESOME...

Just look at the dimension of the flowers...

This one has felted flowers and is super HEAVY...

Chair Make Over

My parents picked this sturdy ol chair up at a yard sale for a couple bucks for me...

I was going to keep it white and sand it back a bit, and then I found the most perfect green spray paint ever!

RUST-OLEUM Fern
I have loved this tape measure fabric forever and bought it years ago from Joann's you know the yards of fabric you have and love so much you can't bring yourself to cut... Well I cut it and ♥ the way my funky chair turned out!

Vintage Lamp Shade Chandelier

So apparently these lamp shade frames aren't so easy to photograph... I guess you'll have to trust me when I say they make a HUGE impact in real life... ha. I have been collecting vintage lamp shade frames and decided to hang them from braided twine on our back patio... I love how they look! Not sure if you can tell, but they are all hanging at a different level. Did I mention I love how they look? So simple and dainty that in the photos they get lost in the background...
