Treasures to Keep



An old stationary box filled with a rainbow of vintage ribbons





Since I started selling vintage most of the treasures I've come across I have put up for sale. I do have some of my items displayed in my home to enjoy until someone decides to buy them. There are a few though that I have kept and thought it would be fun to share them.




This tablecloth is a vibrant yellow with strawberries, apples, and pears (along with a few bees) that dance along the border. It does have a few holes but plenty of usable material. ~ I'm seeing some lovely aprons here!




Many of these keepers are items that I don't think I could get that much for so I might as well hold onto. These that I am sharing today are just waiting to be made into something wonderful.



about a dozen 7" vintage doilies ~ like "new"!








about 80 (seriously!) 5" doilies, sticker reads "Guaranteed China Make All Hand Made" in perfect condition!








About a dozen of these 3" square curiosities. Doily with a linen backing and slit in the middle. Any ideas what they may have been used for?






Someday I will be able to start sewing again. In the meantime I love having these bits around, waiting for me to bring them to life.

Until then they sit looking lovely.
