TEXTILE ENVY
I am going out to an auction this afternoon and noticed when I previewed it on Auction Zip that there are some vintage textiles up for auction. I am in love with old textiles. Embroidered and crochet pieces, linens, tablecloths, tea towels, and bedspreads all call my name.
So I thought I would psyche myself up by looking at some textiles on Pinterest.
I could definitely spend the rest of the day looking on Pinterest, but if I am going to get to the auction preview and look through those boxes, I need to get myself in gear.
P.S. For more beautiful vintage textiles check out Textile Envy on Pinterest
P.P.S. The sun is actually shining today. I had almost forgotten what it looks like. It certainly gives a boost to the spirits. I am hoping they figure out what is wrong with Katy so they can get her out of that hospital soon.

ReplyDeleteI think my textiles multiply in my closet while I am sleeping. I am going to have to keep an eye on them :)
Deletewin win win those textiles.....!!!!! im a vintage linen collector and seller on cape cod...OMG love the pics on pinterest.......best healthy wishes for you daughter.....she should be fine..usually seems worse than expected,,,keep us posted,,,,,,big hugs Lorraine
ReplyDeleteI did manage to get some beautiful things. Wish I could have gotten more, but had to let some of them go. SIGH!!! Thanks for the good wishes for my daughter. Her health is very complicated, so I hope that the Pet Scan will help them figure out what is going on.
DeleteSuch pretty textiles! I hope you enjoyed the auction. I, too, was pleasantly surprised to see the sun here today.
ReplyDeleteI love auctions Gina, and I think how lucky I am that they are a part of my business!!!
DeleteI always love those muted stripes. So soothing to me.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Michelle :)
DeleteHi Laura...Can't wait to see what you bought! Susan
ReplyDeleteI got some beautiful pillow cases and crochet pieces, Susan. Some of them are soaking in Biz, but I will definitely take photos and share :)
DeleteLove linen. If I had kept all the pieces that I have bought, I would have a closet full. I've decided to close my booth after Christmas so I am going to hold on to my finds for a while.
ReplyDeleteI always wish that I could keep all of the beautiful linens that I find, but I know that most of them need to be passed on, because i definitely don't have that extra closet :)
DeleteI'm with you - I like all that kind of stuff!
ReplyDeleteI always think the hunt is half the fun, Kim :)
DeleteVery pretty- I always think of my grandparents when I see these older linens- the feather pillows, and kitchen towels..exactly as I remember them.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how something as simple as a feather pillow can evoke such wonderful memories. :)
DeleteI love textiles too! Especially vintage ones. I have a number of vintage linens of various sorts that hide in drawers and cupboards. Some are out on display and some I change out seasonally. These photos look amazing. I wish I had places to display mine.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever been to the Brimfield Antique Fair in Massachusetts? They have amazing textiles. There's also a yearly textile fair nearby that specializes in vintage designs. It's so much fun and people travel from all over the country, even the world, to experience it.
