Are you a vintage fan who appreciates crewel work or do you pass it by when you see it? I admit, I have a love affair with crewel. Some styles I will pass up - like the log cabin scenes... not a fan. But I love flowery crewel - especially the brightly colored pieces.
This week, I hit the jackpot on crewel pieces. The first piece is medium size but the other 2 are huge - really, really big! (They are not to scale in the collage below, woops.) It's rare to find a piece that is framed that is still clean and doesn't need washing! (If yours does need cleaning, though - you can easily clean it to restore it!)
Here are the 3 pieces I found last week:
These will look perfect in a vintage-lover's home! I'm excited to add them to my booth.
Keeping in line with my granny-chic vibe, I also picked up this awesome rainbow zigzag afghan at an estate sale:
Speaking of Lucy, here is a new photo of our little girl. She's 4 months now!
Isn't she the cutest??? :)

I gotta tell you -- I'm not all about the crewel. I see it and like it, but then never buy it -- I can never get my head around how it will fit in my space....but that BLANKET on the other hand - I lurrrrrrrve!
ReplyDeleteI'm liking the crewel and the afghan! but that lucy, she's the best in the bunch! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the paintings, very granny chic indeed! Lucy is beyond adorable! I bet she'd get along with my hound pup, Satchmo (about 9 months old). Dogs are the best! :)
