Antique-ing in Colby, KS and OKC
As promised, here are some of my finds while antiquing on our long Fall weekend:
Someone was selling their button collection at a shop in Colby, Kansas. I can usually resist, because I have so many buttons of my own, but as you can see, I didn't resist this time!
Aren't they just so much fun?
In the same shop, I found this lovely blue tin and a pile of fabric scraps that has been color-coordinated -- what a great way to pass along your quilting leftovers!
I especially loved this fabric -- look closely at the print and you'll see it's an old armchair with the springs popping out of it!
The inside of the tin held a treat, too:
My favorites were these needle cases:
I also grabbed this sweet fabric with 3 panels of kitten prints:
Once in OKC, Jenni took us to her local antique store and I found...
...this pile of old embroidered linens, which included a set of 7 old stamped, but not yet worked, four sack dish towels! I guess they'll be my next project!
Also, unbelievably, this whole Marie-blue dresser set...
...including the lovely glass powder jar and the coordinating under-mirror. Unbelievable because the entire set was just $5!
Stay tuned for the last antiquing stop we made, in old town Purcell, OK!
