Vintage Obsessions

 I am such a sucker for vintage linens so when I came across this little resale shop on a recent visit with my girls at their college, I couldn't resist grabbing this tea table cloth.  It's ALL hand sewn and embroidered . . . hemmed by hand and the rickrack applied by hand!

Then there was this lovely pillowcase, also completely hand stitched, hemmed and the lace applied by hand.  I don't know what kind of fabric it's made of but to me, it feels like butter! Amazing that people actually MADE their own pillowcases at one time.

A pretty doily never gets past me.  The hand worked edging always amazes me.

My latest obsession:  Vintage salt shakers.  The three crystal ones WERE going in my Etsy shop but never made it, nor could I give up these silver ones with "Chicago, IL" on them!

 But, I do have two sets of these adorable, tiny cut glass ones in my Etsy Shop but I don't imagine they'll last long!  The linens are also available there so stop over and don't forget to check out my sale section.  If you purchase from there, let me know you are from my blog and you'll be entered to win a $10.00 gift certificate to my shop.
And finally . . . my most favorite purchase of all . . .something I've been looking for for a long, long time . . .

 A pair of vintage sunglasses!!  And as if that weren't good enough . . . they're PINK and came with a matching case!

So what are YOUR vintage obsessions?
