r-anne-dom : a place for me (anne) to leave random blog posts.
Such as:
..knitting, sewing, and other random activities pursued
..Girl Guides of Canada : yep, Guiding Lives Here
..the 4 shops on Etsy : one features quality handmade items; the second has lots of patterns, & crafting supplies; the third is stocked with Vintage; and the fourth is guiding flowers.
Enjoy the r-anne-domness!

Vintage Love Saturday - Rescuing Linens

Vintage Love Saturday

Rescuing Linens

Isn't this a cute little zipper pouch?

It was sold in a shop on Etsy - Making Cents - and I contacted the shop owner to tell her how much I loved it.
Sadly it was sold.

We have a vintage tablecloth that my husband's grandmother embroidered. It has seen better days but I'm hoping that a project similar to this one might help me to rescue the tablecloth!

It's a great way to ensure that all the detail in vintage items is saved for future generations.

And yes, another project to add to my never-ending list! 

Some day.

I'll try to find the tablecloth and add a photo of it to show some of the embroidery I plan to save.

What other ideas do you have for rescuing linens?  Leave them in a comment!

This post is presented to you by my vintage shop - VintageAndSuch - and is part of Vintage Love Saturday hosted by Southern Lady's Vintage.
And part of Air Your Laundry Friday on Freckled Laundry.

♥ Have a Very Nice Day =)

♥ Have a very nice day. =)

I have 2 favourite Timmies ~ I visit both regularly depending upon my travel route and staff at both do recognize me.

I don't know if the above was specifcally designed and written for me or if the Tim Hortons staff randomly wrote on bags and I happened to get one.

Either way, it made me smile.

And see how great my Work Sock Cup Cozy looks on the Timmie's cup?
And so eco-friendly because there's no need to double-cup.

Vintage Love Saturday - Some BUNNY Loves You

Vintage Love Saturday - Some BUNNY Loves You


Here are a few of my favourite vintage bunny patterns.

A good friend made a bunny very similar to the ones in these patterns.

She made it for my daughter for a birthday ... it was so well made and the bunny was well-loved.

I am sharing these patterns as part of Vintage Love Saturday hosted by Southern Lady's Vintage.


These are all available in my etsy shop Patterns And Such so go ahead, buy one and start sewing!
