Blogger's behaving again, so I can post my last two pictures. At top left is a square throw pillow. The fan fabric on the back caught my eye, because I know I've seen it before on somebody's blog! Can't remember who, however. The front is patchwork and isn't particularly darling, but the fabrics are old. Next is the corner of a cute vintage apron. The fabric is aqua with yellow and red birds on it, and it's finished with orange (?) rickrack. It has a cute shape and I loved the fabric! At the bottom is the corner of a vintage printed tablecloth. It's a small one and I thought it would be perfect for the little table in Maren's room when she gets older and wants to have a tea party.
Last is another reason I should always listen to my Mom! I told her I've been looking at this sequined fruit on eBay for a while and I was actually going to bid on a lot that ended the same day I found these. My mom told me to just keep looking and I'd probably find some at a thrift or garage sale, and she was right! These were $4, which is less than it would have cost to even mail them if I'd bought them off eBay. I'm still on the lookout for a pineapple and some cherries or strawberries, but I think I'll wait on eBay and hope that the thrift gods smile down on me again!
My grandma had sequined fruit similar to what you posted. She always had the pieces proudly displayed in her kitchen and I remember being fascinated by them every time I saw them. Thanks for posting!
