Cottage & Family [Search results for vintage linens] 

It is time for another Pink Friday at Katies Rose Cottage and the participating shops at Make Mine Pink ~~ Whew !!! where do the weeks go !!

This weeks theme is Vintage Linens ~ Linens and lace are things that I just love love to collect and even though I have a ton of them, I am always adding more ~ there is something about linens and old doilies and lace that just is beautiful and treasured ~

Okay, I am off to list more things ~ they will be on the website in the Pink Friday category by midnight tonight or whenever I go to bed ~

Every time I go to Canton, or to any flea market for that matter, I have something in particular that I am really really hunting for ~ I am always looking for old china with pink roses, architectural finds, lace, old linens ~ all of those things are so much fun to look for but this time I was looking for vintage rhinestone jewelry ~ It is so hard to find lately ~ I guess I am not the only one looking for it ~

I hit a treasure chest at one of the vendors ~ he had a bag stuffed away because he didn't think anybody would want it ~ it was full of broken rhinestone jewelry ~

I was sooo excited because that is what I was looking for so I can embellish more soldered charms with it ~

Then I spotted a vintage tiara that was kind of shoved to the side and asked him about it ~ he didn't think anyone would want that either ~ I almost bought a new one because I love them but I am so glad to have found a vintage one !! That is even better ~
You will see a lot of this tiara in my pictures :o)

I am not sure what the "thing" will be next month but it is fun to dig in those hidden spot because you never know what you will find . . . .

Do you ever have those days where your brain is going a gazillion miles

an hour with so many things you want to do and create that you

can't focus on one ..... well that is me pretty much

all of the time :)

So this morning I got up and started dyeing my new stash of

vintage laces and linens ~ Put out my sewing machine and spread

it all out pretty much all over the place ~

After I made one pillow I remembered the

sweet little baby shoes that I got so I had to embellish them with some vintage yumminess ~

Then I remembered the cute basket I got yesterday

and decided to dye and stamp some tags and ribbon to pretty it up ~

While I was taking pictures of all of this ( in the crummy rainy light ) I remembered the

Dream sign that I just got and wanted to add it to the cute

little vignette that I was photographing ~

Ohhh and then as I was digging through my Canton treasures

that held the linens and baby shoes, I remembered this

awesome bracelet !

All of this started by putting a whole day aside to work on pillows ~

So what am I doing now ...... blogging about it because I got side tracked again :)

BTW ~ these will all be on my website today .... that is my goal ~

Afternoon update .....

I got two more pillows done and listed and then got on an altered bottle side track ~ Gotta love rolled roses :)
