Weekend Finds Vintage Baby Gowns!

A thrilling  find at the estate sale that I went to on Friday and back again on Saturday for the half price day!I got the long gown and little dress on Friday, then found the matching slip for the gown on Saturday!....

They were wrinkly and yellowed, but as you can see I have lovingly restored them and they look so sweet! Teensy embroidered flowers, a butterfly, and FEATHER STITCHING! ....which I just love, and you don't see it too often!

The bottom of the dress, the feather stitching goes right down and the embroidery pattern is repeated.

Pintucks and more teensy embroidery!

The scallops have almost got me drooling.....! only a vintage linens lover would understand!

I had my days of keeping these special items that I love and would display them with all of my other vintage things.

Now, I own them only temporarily, ......touch and admire them while they are in my possession, then pass them on by selling them.  Sometimes I just break even on them, but I really enjoy making them pretty and being able to have something nice to put on Ebay or into a sale.

Now that I'm blogging, I get to share with my blogging friends too!

Anyway, they will be listed on Ebay this week in case you are interested. There's a link on the right hand side for my auctions.

I'd wait a little longer but we'll be leaving for home (Canada) in 2 weeks....!! I can't believe it! The time has flown by! I miss home, but also will miss Arizona as well when we leave.

A BIG collar, these look neat displayed on a hanger on  a hook in a bedroom.

This dragon embroidered teacloth was a real find! There is such delicate threadwork as well as that fabulous embroidery.

How about these big glass storage jars! they are the same jar but love the one with the green lid! I'll take them back with me and they will go in our Red Barn Sale displayed in a shabby cupboard very nicely.

 

PURSES!! How can you go wrong for $1.00 each and they are like new?!?!

I got all of these Saturday at 2 separate garage sales for a buck each!!

The black and white one I didn't even like that much but it's a Liz Claiborne and has a matching wallet. I've got 3 daughters at home so wasn't about to leave it for that price!!

Well? did I do good?
