This post is a bit of everything today. Brace yourself!
Lovely linens have been on the line today for a freshen up and a bit of sunshine.
My latest thrifty finds - a stunning single bed quilt! No single beds here - but layering on the sofa on those cool winter nights - just perfect.
More vintage linens...nothing like embroidered blue birds...love them!
Looking through my Mums Lutterloh pattern book from the 1950's and wondering how the heck she learned to sew from these patterns.
I guess she was inspired by these very elegant and classic styles.
I suppose I could make any of these patterns up if I tried. Just not inspired enough I guess, or purely because of my poor time management skills. :)
I am more inspired at this moment in time by
flowering trees in the backyard. I could look at them forever.
Wishing you a happy week full of inspiration.

Beautiful images. We've had pretty gloomy weather the past couple of days but I can the sun trying to shine today. Your linens on the line look ever so lovely and such beautiful blooms. I never learned to sew, but try my hand at some simple hand sewing ever once in awhile. :) Wishing you a great new week. Tammy
