Here Comes the Bride!

 With the bridal season here, I thought I would share some ideas for the most memorable wedding!

Antique Cantu Bobbin Lace Handmade Tablecloth

When selecting the linens for your wedding, why not consider an incredible, antique lace tablecloth? Perfect for a cake table, brides' table or gift table. This can then be cherished for a lifetime, and handed down to your child for their wedding someday.

If you find that you don't have many cherished, family heirlooms....it's time to start your own collection today!

Feeling French Inspired

Here we have a classic blue and white cotton, used for duvet and

 pillow covers

Timeless, early 1800's block print. You just cannot emulate the real thing!

Today has been so gorgeous, I couldn't help but to peruse thru the antique french fabrics that are waiting on me to put up for sale....perhaps I cannot part with them? I just don't know, as I have been procrastinating (which is just not me!)

So, I started a new board on pinterest, called "The French Chateau" and am showing a lot of what we already have in our shops, as well as peaks of goodies to come... I hope that you will visit, and enjoy an hour or two in the countryside of France!

Oh for the love of antique linens!

These gorgeous, antique linen sheets where custom and completely handmade for a wealthy family

They are a treat to see and hold. amazing quality that you just don't get today, at any cost.

Be sure and check them out quickly, they will certainly go fast!

Antique Fabrics

Antique Fabrics are stocked in our store

Antique fabrics are one of my many weaknesses, and this latest collection that I have acquired has left me weak in the knees!

We have a mountain of 19th century cottons, wool challis and silks. From calico to brocades. Indigo blue, turkey red, strong, unfaded purples, chrome yellow, cheddar, double pink and shaker grays. If you love the early ones, be sure and check in often!

We will also be doing some larger groupings at auction on ebay after May 1

A lot of our friends are "fabriholics" (I, myself, am in this catagory)  The art, the design, the feel and even the way the early ones smell, tickle all my senses!

Many of our friends use these authentic fabrics to restore antique quilts.  If you don't use fabric from the era that the quilt was made, it diminishes the value and appeal.

We have every kind of fabric to restore quilts, from Victorian fancy silks and embroideries to homespun plaids.

Vintageblessings is always on the treasure hunt for the best vintage fabrics, so visit often, we are listing as fast as we can! 

Just listed on Ruby Lane! A lovely Red and Fugitive Green Feathered Star quilt.  Shown here with another quilt of the same 1860's era, also available.
