Part II - My Day at the Market

My Day At The Market ..

Part II

.. with only two hours to haul everything out of the mini van

it was amazing that we were able to find a spot to display everything 

I couldn't have done it without the help of my close friend Angela .. 

- thanks so much -

.. quilts in less than perfect condition 

are washed and repurposed into pillow covers -

all pillows made from vintage quilts are finished with french seams ..

.. dolly beds in different shapes and sizes were dressed

with custom bedding using vintage and sometimes new fabrics - 

the tiny tin kitchen made an excellent background for that little bed ..

 

.. Clementine the Cat found a place to have her lunch 

on this comfy cushion ..

.. all vintage doll high chairs included

a dolly diaper bag, vintage melmac dish and spoon, 

and custom chair pad ..

.. time for a walk ?

vintage dolly prams included a quilt, mattress, pillow, 

stuffed dog for the doll and dolly diaper bag ..

.. this vintage beauty is made from string and heavy paper 

woven into a simple pattern and painted white

two pieces of vintage cotton were used to make the pram liner, blanket and pillow case
and a quilt remmant was used to make the dolly diaper bag ..

Thanks again for stopping by the Vintage Ivory Market this weekend.

It was a lot of fun and if you did come out I hope you had a great day too !!

My Day at the Market ..

Thank heaven for talented friends !!  

I must first start off with a BIG THANKS to my dear friend Angela Kent 

who sacrificed sleep on a Saturday morning to come help me set up my display at the 

Ivory Vintage Market

I would also like to thank the three girls who hosted the market 

Maureen, Michelle and Julie

I know what it takes to organize an event like this

it was well executed and went off without a hitch !!

So, thank you Girls !!

There were loads of pictures to take

so here is a recap of 

My Day at the Market ..

.. I have been busy for months

collecting, painting and sewing

vintage finds ..

.. one of a kind chenille pillows ..

 

.. an all time favorite ..

the strawberry pillow

 made from vintage chenille

a pattern I designed over ten years ago ..

.. chalkboards and tiny vintage inspired swags ..

.. vintage chenille bedspreads ..

found melmac dishes, linen and custom basket liner ..

a charming touch for the cottage, nursery, or guest bedroom  ..
