Thrift stores are my calming therapy. Decorating my quilt room is a serious obsession. Your room is sew cute. I could easily be a copycat, but every girls space should speak to who they are. Love your style and color choices. You don't know me, but we are definitely kindred spirits!

She told me she and her friends made them by the dozen during WWII while their husbands were deployed. I'm sure these types of potholders and doilies were made in all sorts of situations but everytime I see them I immediately picture a wife of a soldier during WWII channeling her anxiety and nervous energy into her crocheting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276001672375576791.post-49946566232691195682011-02-21T17:45:17.982-07:002011-02-21T17:45:17.982-07:00Wow -- what a find Lori.

I keep seeing beauties like these at my local flea/antique markets and the price is usually $5.00 each, even with small stains and discoloration. I just can't justify spending that for something that I would like to have just because it's vintage and adorable. The little dress is just the cutest and I love all the ones with the three-dimensional flowers in the center. Thank you so much for sharing these treasures with us.Linda Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262131386645244447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276001672375576791.post-70609978358055887322011-02-21T16:17:32.030-07:002011-02-21T16:17:32.030-07:00Awesome!!!
