Its time for another Vintage Alphabet Party! This month the letters are P, Q, and R.P is for Pottery. And since I missed Last month's letters of N and O, lets call these Ohio Pottery and cover that letter as well. :-).
A Roseville wall pocket...
And a Rookwood vase. Both are from Gram's attic and have an Arts and Crafts feel to them.
Q is for Quilts. These first two are from my grandma's attic. They were made by her Aunt Mary. First a Double Wedding Ring with mostly 1940's fabrics.
Look at this cute bunny print!
And the other is a simple 9 Patch with a pretty pink border.
But there is a little surprise inside this one. It was filled with another quilt! From the few fabric squares I can see it looks to be from the 1880-1900's. I saw indigo and cadet blues, madder browns, and some novelty prints like this clover and horse head.
The last quilt is a little different. It is also a tied quilt, but is made out of what looks to be fabric sample squares... Several different colorways of the same design. One side is made with all vintage linen fabrics, which actully goes really well with my newly reworked bedroom (I'll show you in the next post).

Its hard to pick a favorite .
And R is for Rhinestones. (and again, since I missed last month's N, this also doubles as my Necklace post :-) )
Some of these pieces were given to me by my mother and others were found at estate sales. I just love a little sparkle!
