Some recent vintage finds...

As I am sure you already know or can guess, I have a thing for vintage fabrics and linens.  Oh, who am I fooling, I have a big time thing for almost anything vintage.  

Anyhow, I have found a few treasures recently while browsing the thrift stores:

Here are some fun and funky treats... I am thinking of using the second one from the top for some pillows in the living room, the turquoise color is close to the color I painted one of the walls.  

On to the vintage linens, I found all of these in one store and I could have bought more.  What a score! I am still not sure what I am going to use my growing vintage linen collection for, but I do I know an inspired idea will come to me sometime.  

The past couple of weeks I have been busy with some freelance work that I am really enjoying.  I have been doing the technical editing for a new sewing book.  This work is just right up my alley!  I have to read the instructions make sure they are clear to people with a range of sewing skills, from beginner to expert.  While comparing the instructions to the sample projects and the patterns.  AND the best part about this is that I get to do it all from home!  I am almost done with this project and would like to continue doing work like this. Let's hope they like my work.

Thanks Nat... my turquoise radar has been honed over the couple of years.

Oh I LOVE the fabrics! I owe you an email; I've been slammed at work lately, but I have a bunch to say in a response so I've been sitting on it until I have the time to give it the proper focus.

I am incredibly excited about your editing project and am pretty darn sure they'll love your work!

TTFN.
