a dandy day!!

I have to say today is a "dandy day"!! :) I got back to working on my urban home goods project I started a couple weeks ago. Today is the deadline so I am a little behind, and am a bit embarrassed with me being one of the admin!! I should be scolded!! I still have the detailing to do on the cute little interactive piecing I'm doing of the oh, so cute dandy day print by Lucky Nielson!!

What do you think, should I make her into a pillow or mini wall quilt?

This week-end I spent a few hours and went antiquing with my girls!! We had lots of fun going to a Scandinavian town nearby and going to several shops, including a couple antique stores!! Here are a few things I found!

Vintage spools!!

A red Pyrex dish, along with some cute vintage hankies, and some vintage seam binding!


I also found this vintage pillow cover! It still needs a backing on it, but with it being square it seems it is was suppose to be a pillow cover.


Hope everyone is having a magical Monday!! :) Back to my UHGS project!!

    What kind of stores do you go to to get such cool vintage stuff? I'm in the Bay Area and have no idea where to go. Thanks...
