Don't ya love mail!?! I got a box yesterday from
Crystal. She's been trying to purge some of her stuff she doesn't want or really
need. She also knows that lately I've been on this HUGE "Vintage" kick. I am obsessed with vintage sheets and it's been gradually spilling over into
everything vintage. I love it! All of it...the furniture, the music, the clothing, the way of life....I could go on and on. I can honestly say that if I could time travel I'd go back to the 40s and 50s. I would happily wear a gorgeous swing dress and heals, have dinner in the oven, lipstick on and greet my hubby at the door with a cocktail in hand for him to sit and relax. (I know...I could do it now, but nah...)Anyway.....Here's what I got from the lovely Crystal:
5 Vintage sheets, a "Dream On" charm pack, 2 adorable flax-seed hand warmers, 2 Mendocino coasters which also came with matching little napkins (not pictured) that got commandeered by my daughters to use as doll blankets. All beautiful stuff! Thanks, Crystal!
Then today the mailman delivered some fabric that I ordered from
Above All Fabric who is having a great sale of $3.99 & $5.99 fabrics! I seriously think I found a new "favorite" online fabric store! On top of great prices, they have $5 shipping (NO LIMIT!!) in the US! And they are FAST! I placed my order on the 26th and got it 3 days later.

I've been really wanting to make a quilt with purples, navy blues, and lime greens. (some of the Amy Butler prints are a little too pink, but I'm sure I'll find other uses for those!) So now, I'm hunting and gathering purples, dark blues, and lime greens.
I am absolutely LOVING Anthology's High Society in the Lime Palette
Have a Spooktacular Halloween!
