My vintage scrap fabric bin was getting a little too full again, so I had to sew up a few small accessories. For these sets I used a few of my 1960's fabrics. I thought they would be fun for summer. 
I think this green and blue is my favorite of the bunch. I made an extra sunglasses case for myself. :-)
These are available on the website, but if you have some pretty scraps you need to use up, why not make yourself a new set to take to the pool. :-)
Time for another Vintage Alphabet party! This month's letters are I, J, and K and I had a hard time deciding what collections to feature...so, I'm showing several. :-)
This is a trio of old irons that make me very grateful for my Rowenta. I think the one in the back is the oldest of the bunch and has a wooden handle and its own trivet.
"J" is for jewelry. Here's a grouping of some of my favorite vintage pieces.
And "K" is for Kitchenalia (you know, all those fun old kitchen gadgets).
And one more "K" collection, Keys! My grandpa had a ton of old keys. I just love all of the different shapes.
Well, that's it for my alphabet collection. Be sure to stop over at the Etsy Cottage Style Blog and see what other collections are being shown or share some of your own.
This past weekend Mom and I headed out to shop the Antique flea market in Lawerceburg, In. It stormed in the morning, so we weren't sure how many dealers would be there. It was definitely not as crowded as it would normally be, but a decent turnout given the downpour. 
This cool leaf print on gray, mid-weight cotton. And my favorite of the bunch, an awesome barkcloth with trees and leaves (or maybe they're figs?).
I also bought a funky orange and yellow printed linen from the same dealer. I think this one dates to the 1960-70's.
It was a fun afternoon. Probably not near as fun as going to the Farm Chicks show, though. I've been reading all the blog posts about it and Wow! I have got to make plans for a road trip to the next one! :-)
