Magpie Monday,
click to join in!
Well this will be a bit of a 'hurried' Magpie Monday, on account of three children being off school, orders to get out, washing, ironing and deliveries to do!
My finds this week really are a blast from the past!
So from the top, we have a double pair of brand new candy striped sheets, just like I had on my bed as a child!
In the middle a lovely pair of heavy weight navy gingham curtains.
At the bottom a brand new double vintage bed sheet.
Now those that know me well, will know that none of them will end up as they were originally meant too!
As soon as I have a 'free sewing day' I will start creating.
Could not believe that both sheet sets were brand new! and perfectly 'vintage'
I paid £6 for the striped sheets (two of them - double size)
£6.25 for the gingham curtains
and £5.99 for the vintage floral double sheet (only one of them but I have a great idea of what they will become!)
Will post pics at a later time to show what happened to them all.
Good Luck everyone and happy hunting!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with your finds! I had those candy-striped sheets as a child too :)
ReplyDeleteCandy striped sheets! I think the whole country had them on their beds in the 70's and they were really soft and cuddly from what I remember.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing what you create.
Love, love, love your vintage sheets...I have a real weakness for them! Gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteI remember those sheets, love the floral pattern too!
ReplyDeleteI adore candy stripe sheets. I have a few that I've picked up here and there and I actually got a double flat sheet this weekend - with just green stripes.
ReplyDeleteI'm not as adventurous as you though, but can't wait to see what you make with them all. x
My comment for this is a bit late (sorry). However, I just wanted to tell you that I have a sheet identical to the pink floral. I inherited it from my mother in law. I would be interested to see what you did with it.
