CLF Finds: Vintage Quilts

This post is for my Aunt Marianne that I have enjoyed getting to know again on Facebook! I've lived away from home for nearly half my life now, it's nice to be able to connect on a daily basis with family that you never get a chance to see.

Here is the Dusty's Too Country Living Fair booth was filled with lovely vintage quilts of well love goodness!! I'll have more to show you later on in the week.

xoxox!

Working with...

After a long day of travel (and travel drama) I am here!!! I am in Austin and ready to shop the Country Living Fair today. Today I'll be combing the fair for vintage goodies to rehab with oilcloth, laminated cotton, and chalk cloth.  I'll TWEET my way through the fair, so please follow me on Friday and hep me decide what I should buy up.@modernjune and follow #CLFair.


I thought I would show you what I have to work with, what I brought from home! Bundle #1 is a few fat quarters and two half yard cuts of chalk cloth

 Bundle #2 is two yards of oilcloth and some cotton bias.

Bundle #3 is just a bunch of oilcloth scraps.

Bundle #4 is two yards of laminated cotton, some oilcloth bias, a jar of buttons and a lot of ric rac. 

Sooo.... What am I going to do with all of this? 

Tomorrow I'll fix up my finds on the stage, it'll be my own little trash to treasure show. But wait, there's more, I'll even be raffling away a two of the projects to some lucky winners.

Dreamy Settee!

At last years Country Living Fair in ATL we were right across from the Happy Chair people. What happy chairs they are! I just had to take advantage of the photo op. 

So here's the dream, I would own a settee like this if I had one of those awful Mc Mansions in the far West End, you know the ones, they have master bedrooms w/ en suite (non-existent in my 85 YO home) that have the same square footage as my entire first floor. I would lie around eating bon-bon's in this chair reading novels all day long. This chair would make me happy!! 

OK! Enough of that, I just like the chair, A LOT! : )  Maybe when Modern June has some trendy warehouse loft to call home I can have my Happy Chair! A much better dream!
