Sleeping Beauty

Ah, vintage pillow cases...I heart them! I stole this pillowcase from my parents house about a month ago. (Really, I literally stole it. My mom wouldn't let me take home this great, green bowl set that belonged to my great grandma, so I stole this pillow case instead. I found it just laying in the laundry room practically begging me to take it home!)
This pillow case belonged to my great grandma. I am sleeping on it right now. Well, not right now but you know what I mean!

My Nanny gave me these gorgeous white pillow cases (2). She received them at her bridal shower over 53 years ago. They have never been used. She said they were too pretty to let my Papa put his head on them! :) I probably won't let Ty sleep on them either. Oh, and they were starched and ironed to the extreme!
This pillow case is the softest piece of fabric I have ever touched. It must have been washed a million times. It is getting a little threadbare and my Nanny was going to throw it away. I saved it from the trash can.

Babies on the Brain

Don't get too excited Momsy! I am attending several baby showers this month so I have been shopping off of registries. My Nanny also showed me several baby things that she has in her cedar chest. She kept a lot of stuff from her baby shower from when she was pregnant with my Dad in 1957.

She had a bar of Dial soap in her cedar chest. I thought that was funny and I had to have a picture of it. This is a baby card from one of her showers.

It was hard to get a good picture of these adorable baby clothes from the late 50s. They were all ironed and pressed to the max. Apparently you ironed everything back then! I wish all the details of these outfits showed up. They were so cute!

My Nanny just knew that my dad was going to be a girl. She made this quilt for him. She told me that she would cover him up with it sometimes!

She embroidered all these squares...so sweet! She told me that whoever had a girl first out of me and my sister could have this for our daughter. (LeAnn and I are the only granddaughters.) Of course I took a picture of the only square with a stain! Oops!

My Nanny also made lots of little girls clothes for my poor dad! This is the most precious gown. It has little pink roses all over it. I took a pic of the back of the gown.



**Has anyone else been on Facebook lately?? I am lucky if I check it once a week. There is a strange hacker/virus going around. I had 2 wall posts from friends from college telling me I had been mentioned on a blog and that someone thought I was cute to find out where/whom click here. Do not click on them! Delete the posts so that no one else clicks on them. I also got paranoid and changed my password--not sure if this helps or not...***

tablecloths and tea towels

My Nanny gave me all these great, vintage tablecloths from the 1950s. I am in LOVE with them all! She was so sweet to give them to me! I think she was very shocked to learn that all of this stuff was back in style and that I had bought a tablecloth at an antique store very similar to the ones that she had sitting in her cedar chest.

This is the tablecloth that I bought at an antique store in Guthrie.
All the rest were given to me by my Nanny. I need to buy a square table for them to fit on! Do you think I can talk the hubbers into that?!?

I think this is my favorite one because it is pink! Don't worry, when I actually use them I will iron out the wrinkles.

Wouldn't this be great for a cookout?
