Thrifty Find: Patchwork Apron

I found this adorable vintage apron at an antique mall for $5. All of the patchwork squares are vintage. It has a cute little ruffle and precious worn-out waist band. We will be moving in a few months and I think it might be the perfect thing to design a new kitchen around.

Broken Sewing Machine = Shop Update

Ok, I know I have not been sewing very much lately, but this weekend was going to be all about sewing. My husband's good friend was in town and they were going to be doing guys' stuff that I really didn't care about. It was going to be a good excuse to sew away to my hearts content. I had no worries, no cares. I didn't even have to worry about meals because the boys were going to take care of that. So I started to sew my first project and...snap, an important screw came loose (on my machine, guys). I tried with all my might to get it back together, but alas, it would not screw back. So I had to order the part and wait...until Nov. 2! So my sewing weekend turned out to be another kind of weekend all together. I ended up listing a bunch of new items in my vintage shop. Here's a peak at what is new.

So, it wasn't a weekend of sewing, but it was productive. I kinda had fun sitting in front of the computer all day-listening to Pandora while I edited photos. It feels good to finally have a vintage shop update. It's been a long time coming.

Stitch Mistress

Well I am off to do my first craft show tomorrow night. I have decided to use my "Stitch Mistress" (vintage child's sewing machine) to decorate my table. Maybe she will be my good luck charm. I hope to make some new friends and sell a few goodies in the process! Have a great Friday!

Thrifty Finds

I haven't been thrifting in so long because I am anticipating moving sometime this year and do not need to add anything else to the pile of things that will go into my future garage sale. But I was down at the public library last week to get some audio books so that I could listen to them while sewing. And there next to our little county library was a large thrift store that I hadn't been to in over a year or more. I just had to check it out and once I did, I just had to buy somethings. I couldn't resist. I justified my purchases by thinking that I would sell them in my vintage shop...but I may just have to hold onto the owl pillow. He is too cute, and in my favorite colors.
