Vintage Fabrics

During my picking yesterday, I visited the Griggstown Reformed Church on beautiful Canal street in Griggstown. Honestly, the beautiful scenery on the drive would have been satisfying enough, but I found these vintage fabrics...old window dressings, table cloths & a dishtowel, and one which is so heavy, I'm not sure if it's a table cloth or a blanket - it's a beautiful cotton with detailed weaving. I may make a roman shade out of it for my bare office window, although I think it would also make some beautiful, soft, shabby pillows...we'll see! Either way, I can't wait to make use of these treasures!

This "find" is ALL MINE!!

I found some truly fabulous pieces in the last two days, including the cabinet in the picture, for which I had great plans until I realized that I had fallen in love with it just as it was, and would not be selling it. Can you blame me?? Isn't it gorgeous?? I also found a beautiful small oriental (not real) rug with colors...you guessed it...the same blue as the cabinet, and cream as the walls behind the cabinet. Two finds for me :)

Also..... it's official. I can continue going to garage sales, but I am flagged from buying any more pieces for a while. Unless I find something irresistible...however, I walked away from three pieces today, so I will hopefully be okay. The reason for my self-inflicted limit? I have run out of room! The picture with the four pieces is in my front hall!! Luckily I am going to use the rainy Sunday to organize the garage, and I just got an estimate on a shed. I need it!

Finally, if anyone ever needs to move furniture, I HIGHLY recommend these little do-dads...you slip them under the legs of your furniture, and they slide across carpet like MAGIC!! I don't know what I'd have done today without them!




Wish me luck in finding room for all this great stuff! I excited to start working on them!
