Some Vintage Sheet Goodness and a Ponds jar

I was just walking into the barn with the camera and this stack of vintage sheets when clever son's lovely girlfriend arrived to pick blueberries.  It was lovely to spend time with her in the patch!  She is an excellent blueberry picker!

The ladder to the loft in the barn is a most excellent sheet prop.  The pink and the stripes are courtesy of Mum who always has an eye out for sheets for me and the two others were picked up the other day when I flew in and out of a thrift shop in record time.  Scored a couple of packs of rick rack as well!  Woo hoo!  For those of you who wonder and even for those who don't, vintage sheets come in very handy when quilting.  Not only can you make a great quilt from just vintage sheets but they often make really great quilt backs.  I use them in all sorts of ways too like bag linings or bags.  A stack of vintage sheet charms or fat quarters makes a handy draw prize at a quilt guild meeting too!  There is a lot of fabric in a vintage sheet!

 I found this 1920s milk glass Ponds Cold Cream jar at the local thrift shop the other day for 25 cents!!!!!  Are you kidding me?  I love it.  I could not be happier to have found this!  It is surprisingly heavy and without any chips.  It is just missing the lid which apparently was aluminium.  It is happily residing on the bathroom shelf next to some other vintage goodness like...  Noxema jars.  Mum credits her life long love of blue glass to Noxema jars!

Have a lovely Saturday!  We have a thunderstorm forecast. I think our heat wave may be at an end and we are okay with that!  Off to do a bit of evening sewing!
