Antique Farm

I love vintage! I love farms! In fact, I eventually want to raise chickens for eggs, sheep for wool (I am a knitter), and we have been gardening for the last couple of years. So, I wanted to create a tribute to farms and the feel of farm life. Many of us get carried away with technology, the city, fast pace of life....We tend to forget the basics. So, here it is - only but a handful of wonderful antiques from Etsy. Click on the links below the pictures to go directly to the items for sale.

Metalic Vintage Owl

Owls were really popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Maybe it was due to their mysterious ways, or perhaps it's because they are wise, or maybe it is simply because they are adorable and cuddly. I am partial to the latter, myself. So here are some vintage picks with an owl theme. In fact, there is such an owl popularity that I decided to narrow the category down even more to give it a twist. Check out these items and their sellers on Etsy by clicking the links below.

It is an ancient tradition for children to carry around and play with dolls, even boys. I have chosen to display a few cuddly, adorable selections from throughout the 20th Century. Check out these featured items and their links below. You can buy these on Etsy! They are timeless classics and children love them!

New Patchwork, Old Fabric

I have shown off vintage fabrics and linked you to different book resources for sewing with vintage fabrics, but not once have I created a collection of what artists are actually sewing with these antique fabrics. Thus, I have decided to dedicate this to the creation of patchwork with vintage fabric. The results of recycling fabric are beautiful!
