Thrifted Loveliness



A beautiful vintage tablecloth made of gorgeous cotton.  Love the drape on these old cloths...  a weight and quality not found in stores today.




 A little Spring for the table



and some roses, too...




A mint condition oval Pyrex and 6 of these...  


...pure wool, soft and delicate.


Now.  I must learn to knit more than a dishcloth as these lovelies have been languishing in someone's cupboard for far too long and clearly they are asking to be promoted to a life of usefulness, no?

So, yes.  On the "list" is to learn to knit something "wearable".  


I'll get right on that, shall I?

    I'm so glad I found your blog....
