A Little Vintage



I love the aqua and red vintage Christmas look! Without knowing how much I like these colors for Christmas, my husband went to the store yesterday and came home with these blankets. Wow! I said I love them! So this is what all my precious "little" people are getting this year. I found the snow flake applique on one of my favorite embroidery sites.... "lynnie pinnie". Thank you Lynnie! I think the color combinations are really unisex so some girls may get red and boys may get blue. Of course I had to add ribbon and a name tag. What fun! Also, I wanted you to see a new cookbook I bought....The Farm Chicks....cover is red and aqua and oh so vintage! I really like using things that I have had forever or that have passed down to me. It's a great feeling using things my mother gave me or that I was given 30 years ago. 12 days until Christmas! Enjoy your vintage ornaments or dishes and whatever you have and Merry Christmas! By the way, my sweet husband went and bought me 10 more blankets! Gotta get busy stitching.
