"Hen House Linen" T.s Part Two!




They're back - on cream colored T.s!!!

The decorations on these long sleeve T.'s are made from vintage materials; the fabric is feedsack from the 1930’s. Feedsack is material used by manufacturers to package pantry staples and animal feed. Frugal housewives would use the empty sacks to make clothing and quilts for their families.

Sweet Baby Jacket

Snugly and yummy! Mom made this sweet little jacket for Ev using all vintage materials (the chenille, the buttons, the binding - all vintage!) If you think it looks cute on the hanger, you should see it on a baby - precious! It even has a pom-pom on the hood! We're making more just like this one for the craft fair in December (available up to size 24 mo). There are a limited number available, so send us an e-mail today if you are interested in reserving one. ~Megan

Vintage Collecting for Baby



The phrase, "I'm having a baby" is basically synonymous with the phrase, "I'm going shopping" . With all of the fantastic products on the market today, it's not hard to find what baby needs. After you've registered for all of your newborn necessities, consider doing some shopping of a different sort... collecting. Starting a vintage collection for baby can be fun and exciting, not to mention add some character to the nursery. Start by browsing through an antique store to get an idea of what you like, then use sources such as eBay, garage sales, and flea markets to expand your collection. The choices are endless and the quest is never dull. I've posted some of the vintage collections that adorn my own daughter's nursery. As you can see, I chose items that I found entertaining and whimsical. You can choose items that appeal to your sense of style, or simply pick items that entertain you. Visit one of our home shows or events to check out some of our vintage resale baby accessories. Until then... happy hunting!!! ~Megan
