I stumbled upon these fancy little floral napkins about a month ago in a thrift shop. They were .99 cents for each set of two…I bought all five sets. (How could I resist?)
I wanted to display them nicely so this pretty vintage pattern didn’t have to hide away any more (as I’m sure it was doing in someone’s Grandmother’s attic for decades), so I cinched a few together with these little napkin holders that I made from fabric scraps and vintage buttons!
Would you care for some tea?

Well, no, not actually. But I was mentioned in two great blogs this week!
♥
First, I wrote another post for the Goodwill blog which went live on Monday. It’s all about upcycling and features the super cute pink polka dot dress that I remade and just sold!
And second, Laura and Nate of Fore Front Fashion came to my house a few weeks ago to see and talk about my shop! They were both super sweet and I’m really excited to keep tabs on their blog. It’s definitely the only street style blog for my little city, and it sounds like they may have some other fantastic ventures up their sleeve for the future. Have a peek at the write-up they did about me by clicking right here!
Now I’m off to do some sewing!
