thrifted...







1,2 & 3 - vintage sheets from country op shops all ready to go for a sheet swap early next year!
4, 5 & 6 - a lovely little vintage patchwork quilt. i have always seen thrifted vintage quilts on blogs that super lucky people find at op shops but have never found one in all my years of op shopping (also... i NEVER find pyrex. never ever). it is falling apart at the seams but those floral prints were just too pretty to leave behind.

p.s - last day to enter the giveaway. winner will be drawn tomorrow :)

  7. I'm yet to find a lovely vintage quilt either - I did find a massive 70's coverlet thing, but not a nice patchwork quilt. Pyrex, a little, but I'm not crazy for it like some thrifters are...

    Such a special find, I'm glad it's gone to an appreciative home!

  10. I just stumbled upon your blog over at Pyrex Collective II (I clicked because I love your blog name!) and I'm definitely going to start following you. Love your blog!

    Also love the vintage sheets you found! I found some recently and can't decide if I want to turn them in to curtains now or be patient and amass enough to do a quilt. Either way, vintage floral prints are fabulous!
