Inside Millie's Closet...and a Vintage Monday!

Hi Cute people!...

Just a quick post to let you know that I'm still here...

 and having a great time playing with 

Millie's Closet!

This is the gray/yellow/green

 color way in the line.

There are 8 prints in this color way...

And 2 solids.

One is my very favorite Apple Green 

and the other I'm so excited about!!  

It's a light gray that I picked

 to go in this line....

I chose it because I wanted 

a gray that looks like vintage linen...

and it looks so fabulous with

 all 28 pieces in the line!!!

For this photo shoot I added one of my vintage purses and a sweet vintage pair of long white gloves with pearl buttons.

 I'm sure they were worn to at least

 one prom...

 a ladies luncheon...

 and also on several Easter Sundays:)

Along with this adorable vintage hat...

one of my very favorites in my collection.

I think they go very well with the gray/yellow/green 

color way of Millie's Closet.

What do you think?

The release of Millie's Closet in all 3 color ways is now just a few short weeks away...

and then I can begin to show you some of the things that I am working on.

if you would like to play with some 

of your very own:)

But in the meantime...

have a quilty kind of week my friends!

This Week...

I am working on the

 red/pink/aqua/gray color way 

from my

 Millie's Closet 

fabric line.

Of course I can't show you just yet 

what I'm working on 

until it gets a little bit

 closer to Spring Market...

But what I can show you...

are some photo's 

that I took of my sample yardage

 before I cut into it!

I included a few pieces of

 my vintage jewelry...

a vintage perfume bottle...

and a vintage lipstick tray...

a few of the things that I keep the 

vanity top in my bedroom.

I think all things vintage feminine

 really go with the style and feel

 of this particular color way in

 Millie's Closet...don't you?

After all...

the inspiration for this line 

was my very own Grandma Millie...

who was very feminine and always had

 wonderful pink things on her vanity 

for me to explore:)

Oh I almost forgot!...

the little aqua beaded fringe

 peeking through the top of the photos 

happens to be this 

fabulous vintage purse 

that I have had in my collection 

for quite some time.

Isn't it adorable?

It's crocheted...

 and the long aqua beads

 were added onto the rows 

during the crocheting.

My sidekick/daughter Kassidy

 held it up for me while 

taking the pictures...

I thought it would add a fun texture

 to the background and it's 

my favorite color of aqua:) 

I'm busy stitching up as much as I can

 with my sample yardage...

waiting impatiently (as usual) 

for the bolts to come in.

That should be in about 3 weeks now...

YAAAAYYYYY!!!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who left

 me sweet bloggy love

 on my last post and entered to win

for making your 

very own lunch bag!

Congratulations to

She is the winner!!!

I have notified Amy via email and will

And since my last post was all about making lunch bags...

Today I thought I would show you

 just a few pictures

 from one of 

my Pinterest boards 

titled 

"My Lunchbox"

source

If you're like me and you often pack your own lunch or one for your hubby or kiddo's...

it's easy to get into the same old rut and a packed lunch can be pretty boring.

 But now that there is Pinterest...

 there are ideas galore for my lunchbox!

source

I have found so many delicious recipes 

that I have tried like this

 Avacado Chicken Salad...

source

Or Wild Rice and Ham Chowder.

They both are fantastic!

source

Just as soon as strawberry season hits I'll be making these...

I'll bet that will make my family smile:)

source

When I get some time I'm going to use this tutorial to make  

reusable wraps for sandwiches...

source

And this tutee for a cute little

 reusable snack bag.

source

I have also found clever ideas for containers like using a plastic egg for small snacks.

source

Or even how to make my own container with a zipper and the bottom of 2 plastic soda bottles...

very clever and cute.

source

And you know I love cute things...

and I especially love it when food is cute too!

I hope this post has inspired you to try a few new things today for your lunch box!

Have a quilty kind of day my friends:)
