grannies, vintage linens...

Happy Wednesday! 
I am making progress with my crocheted granny squares, and have decided to so a small blanket. I have 6 more granny squares to go, and then I will crocheted them together in a cozy blanket. I have also been working on my granny quilt top, which I will be able to show you later in the week! 
Over the weekend at an estate sale I picked up some pretty vintage linens. The flowers on this bright and cheery pillowcase are so lovely, and I am thinking of making it into a a couple of pillows.  
I found this gorgeous cross stitched tablecloth at the estate. Isn't it pretty? It is quite stained and has rust spots, but I have some projects I want to make using it. Do you have any ways to remove the spots and rust?
This was another pretty embroidered tablecloth that I brought home. I love the crocheted edging on this one. I am always amazed how these women had the time to do it! So incredible they were!!
This beautiful tablecloth was a gift from the sweetest Donna of Donna's Lavender Nest! I just love the pretty strawberries, with the grey scalloped design! Thank you so much Donna for such a gorgeous treasure! 
I bought these beautiful feed sack squares from Donna at her lovely Etsy shoppe. She has some new Lecien fabrics, so make sure you take a visit!!
These pretties are from Superbuzzy and they have a great selection of Japanese fabrics. 
I received a sweet gift from Tammy of Tammy's in Love.  After seeing all the beautiful tags from her Vintage Cartoon Tag Swap, and Elizabeth of Creative BreathingBox Lunch Social Tag Swap, I had mentioned to Tammy that I was so inspired and wanted to join in the next swaps. She was so sweet to offer to do a one-on-one tag swap with me, which I was so excited to do!!
Some gorgeous vintage cards...
And, two adorable tags! One sweet summer one, and I was lucky to get one of her Box Lunch Social tags!! I just love them both! Thank you so much Tammy for all these lovely treasures!!

Well, I am off to finish some new products that I will be putting in the shoppe tomorrow!
