I love vintage quilts. I am fortunate to have a few from both my side of the family and also from my husband's family. My father's grandmother and great grandmother were excellent quilt makers and I enjoy having a few

A few years ago I ventured on a "Girls Weekend" with a few friends. We spent one entire weekend visiting every antique/junk store we could locate. I found this precious old junky chest and fell in love with it's character the moment my eyes

I love a good bargain! Got this old 50s metal stool at a junk store for $2. It was rusty and one leg broken. A little work on leg & almond spray paint and it is good as new...nearly. Next
Blast From the Past
You have not lived until you have plunked yourself on one of these old metal motel lawn chairs from the 1950s. Growing up they were at every travel motel sitting under the trees and if you were lucky, by the
The Real Deal
This cute green cowboy material is actually from the 1950s! It is the real thing and not a new retro fabric. I found this in an antique store. I actually knew more than one person who had this fabric in
