This week's luck continued today when I found this vintage yellow Dansk Kobenstyle Pitcher to add to my collection! I cannot wait to be able to unpack all of my collection and see it together. I picked this one up at an antique mall so it wasn't very thrifty, but compared to etsy/ebay prices it sure was! :)
I also managed to find the large Designs Pyrex casserole to match the little one I already had!
Saturaday I had the BEST vintage sheet haul I've ever had! The shop is now fully stocked with new goodies! :)
I used this tutorial to dye some yarn with Koolaide! It turned out great! I can't wait to dye some more!
Yesterday, my awesome friend Amanda taught me how to crochet! Look what I made, my first granny square!!
George was glad to be reunited with his basket after being in his cage while I was at home for the night!
I am a little behind on responding to comments, so if you've asked a question or such in the last few days, I'll be getting back to you tomorrow morning! Cheers! :)

ReplyDeleteThe died yarn is so PRETTY!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pyrex, I love teapots and jugs
ReplyDeleteI love George......
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! Love the pitcher especially! And congrats on learning to crochet - it's always good to have another skill! Btw, I really like your 'good things about today!'
ReplyDeleteI had to chuckle a bit about that one sheet that is the back drop for your yellow pitcher. My grandparents summer cottage had that same print as that sheet but is was the in wallpaper in the kitchen. BTW love Geogrge he is such a cute ND bunny!
ReplyDeletedo tell how to die yarn with kool aid...and does it last through washings?
ReplyDeleteoops, never mind, I just saw you had a link for dying the yarn.
ReplyDeleteI finally blogged about my Pyrex collecting!! And, I also scored the SAME vintage sheet as the top one in your pic...so cool!!! I am still washing, drying, pressing, and stashing my vintage sheet finds while I shop for my very first sewing machine...wish we lived closer because I have it on good authority that you're a great sewing teacher! Happy thrifting!!!
ReplyDeleteHow come I never get that lucky?! :) Loving your yarn and granny square, ni job! And George looks fabulous, of course!!
ReplyDeleteLove your Kool-aid dyed yarns... gorgeous colors! Congrats on learning to crochet... I have such fun with it.
ReplyDeleteLike Jennifer O., I recognized the sheet used as the backdrop for the yellow pitcher... I had that set, except in blue/green... took it to college with me in the fall of 1969. Not sure what happened to the sheets but I still have the pillowcases.
My love of Pyrex brought me to your blog, but it's the vintage sheets that keep me coming back. I love spotting patterns from my childhood. My mom and grandmother and mother-in-law have had many of the patterns I've seen here.
ReplyDeleteSo, so, so glad that you learned to crochet!!!
ReplyDeleteMy friend dyes yard in Kool-aid all the time. It is beautiful! That pitcher is super cool. Wonder if I could find one in orange...
ReplyDeleteJenni, completely speech-less your sheet haul is A-MA-ZING!!! :D
ReplyDeleteYour Kool-Aid yarn looks awesome, and look! You're crocheting! I so want to learn, and I'm committed to doing so before the end of July. Yay, Jeni! Okay, now I'm off to see this video of George eating a banana. Also, your interview was cute on the Sewing Summit blog!
ReplyDeleteLovely stack of vintage sheets! I love your collection of vintage kitchenware, so pretty and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Crochet! My twin sister does crochet, but I just really lack the patience for it. It's a gift for those who can do it, I didn't understand it when I was being taught, lol. I love hand sewing though!
George bunny! I laughed when you mentioned in your interview that he nibbles on quilts and their bindings! Bad!
Lovely blog!
:)
You always have the best thrifting luck! Do you have a recipe or link to a recipe that you could share for the lemon blueberry muffins you mentioned? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing thrifting luck! I love how your yarn turned out - definitely need to try that!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and I especially love the purple yarn that you dyed - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog and seeing the vintage sheets you find. I actually had 2 of the ones in your pile growing up! The yellow green stripe, and the 5th design up from the bottom showing the yellow and pink flowers. I loved these sheets. I remember them feeling so soft and cool. Thanks for the memories. I'm a child of the 70's. What can I say?!
