Vintage tablecloth dress

One of the vendors at the Old Glory Country Fair that I wrote about yesterday was a woman who sews clothing out of vintage tablecloths, quilts, and other linens. Unfortunately she doesn't sell online so I can't link you to any of her work, but let me assure you--it was GORGEOUS! She had the cutest jackets for little girls made out of old quilts, as well as dresses made from vintage printed tablecloths. Unfortunately for me, her prices matched the quality of her work--those darling little jackets were $88 and the dresses were $38. Ouch.Lucky for me, I happened to find a nearly identical style of dress at a thrift store a few weeks ago!
And the price? One buckaroo, folks! I was happy to find it then, but after seeing what those dresses were selling for this weekend I'm positively thrilled! It's a size 2 so it is too short for Maren to wear as a dress, but I think with a little pair of shorts underneath it will be perfect for wearing this summer. Now, if only I can find one of those quilt jackets...
