I went to a fun antique and craft show on Saturday here in Tulsa. It is called "2 Friends and Junk". They were here last year also. It seems that the only thing I purchase from them tho are vintage linens.
I found a beautiful old "cutter" quilt that is actually much brighter than the photo - that's it on the left - plus two gorgeous vintage Christmas tablecloths. They will make such pretty pillows for next year.
There was a gentleman there who did printing as you waited on bulap. He had these pillow covers already made up and you told him what you wanted written on them. He used a big Sharpie with the calligraphy point and does this free-hand. I could have just stood there and watched him for hours. Very talented.
Another pretty old tablecloth for pillows.
This was my haul.
Loved finding these old Christmas hankerchiefs. The little shelf in the background is a spice rack with five little metal spice jars.
It seems tho that the craft shows are getting to where there is so much jewelry, clothing and food and there are very few handmade crafts. I miss that.
Enjoy!

Oh- That is SOOO neat-all those things you found, Judy. That pillow that the man calligraphed is amazing....I can't imagine someone standing by and watching me do that. It is gorgeous. Glad you got out and had a nice time of it. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteMy mother had a tablecloth just like the one with roses Judy!! Brings back memories. Also, like you, I LOVE that calligraphy!! Glad you are getting out and about.
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! Glad you had fun! I've been thinking of you and sending mental hugs your way! XO
ReplyDeleteI love the Christmas hankies! They bring back memories of my grandmothers and the hankies they used to carry. I often received them as gifts when I was little.
ReplyDeleteYour textiles are gorgeous - always my weakness (but that quilt hardly even looks like a cutter)! That gentleman's free-hand work on your burlap pillow is fantastic too. I hope your Christmas gives you a sense of peace and joy as you gather with your loved ones, and cherish the memories of your closest one gone. Merry Christmas, Judy.

ReplyDeleteJudy, I love your goodies you found. The hankies...so cute. Those old table cloths take me back in time. Love them. I think of you Judy and hope you are doing well. Blessings to you for this Christmas.xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteSo many pretties! I always go for the linens too:) I love old hankies and lost mine last Christmas Eve! I am hoping someone found it and will bring it this year! Have a blessed evening dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteJudy you found some pretty linens. Lots of gorgeous pillows coming next year I bet! Love the burlap pillow, what talent he has!! Please take care of yourself and I am sending you a big hug!

Quite a nice haul! Like you I cannot pass up linens, I just love them so. You found some beautiful patterns. I have a problem I cannot cut them (old vintage linens up) even though I want to. I feel so guilty? Silly, aren't I. So glad you had a nice day at the show!
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem Cathy..I want to cut them but just can't bring myself to do it..lol..
Deleteoh my gosh that is so cool, wow, what a talent he has, beautiful fabrics too!!! Sounds like a wonderful time, I hope you and family are well,
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile today with this post. It was so good to read you went to this show. I know how much you love the treasures you find and the hunt for them. Good to see you venture and did this and enjoyed it. Love those burlap pillows hand done while you wait. So cool. I cannot wait to see the pillows you make out of the vintage table cloths.
Have a good week my friend.

Gotta love vintage linens!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I love all your vintage finds. I need to make it to a flea market one of these days to find lovely old linens.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Love your pillow! I used to love to go to craft shows but not so much anymore....
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like you have your work cut out for you for next Christmas, Judy! I love vintage hankies, just so charming! You new pillow is great, I can't believe he did that freehand, Wow!! Blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI don't usually go to craft shows - but the items you show sure bring back some memories.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a great day for you. The pillow is fantastic, lovely script. The linens to bring back great memories.
ReplyDeleteYou made a great "haul", Judy.. I'll look forward to your creations for next Christmas.. I would loved to have watched the man using his talent with the Sharpie too.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right about craft shows and what is being sold.. It is so discouraging to go to a craft show and not find handmade items.. That's what crafts are all about.. Lots of jewelry (not handmade) is being sold here in Va. too.
Thinking about you !
Charlotte in Va.
Your quilt and tablecloths are great finds, Judy! And it's hard to believe your pillow was decorated freehand with a Sharpie! Wow, that's a steady hand! Thanks for sharing!

You found some great fabric/linens, Judy! They will make for wonderful additions to pillows, runners or whatever else you might make with them. Love the printed burlap - very beautifully done with the writing.
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas linens & hankies!
ReplyDeleteYou can show me vintage linens anytime Judy..I love them too..
ReplyDeleteYou found some really beautiful linens! Love the burlap pillow cover with 20 North Ora on it. Very talented man indeed! I agree that most of the craft shows these days aren't what they used to be...there was so much better stuff (more handmade crafts) about 20 years ago. I don't even bother going to craft shows anymore.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you found such wonderful TREASURES!!!! They needed a good home!!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Oh, I'm so happy you felt like getting out to the crafty place! You found some lovely things. I adore those olden tablecloths! You're in my prayers sweetie and I wish you a blessed Christmas.
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
