a question for you…

We enjoyed a weekend of vintage treasure hunting, laughter with friends, and a bit of live music in spite of the dreary rain. Needless to say, the housekeeping was sorely neglected so today I’m playing catch-up. I’m afraid today’s post is a bit on the side of hum-drum. Some mornings are filled with creativity and others with laundry. This is the latter. Hopefully, you understand.

I do have a small favor to ask this morning. I’d like some feedback from you. I don’t want this place to become a barrage of unending shop updates but at the same time, I’d like for you to have the first peek at what’s new in there (hence the photographs, above). So I’d like to hear from you. How often do you want an update? The most I am willing to do is once a week, but that seems a bit much to me. Please share your thoughts because I’d really like to know. The drawing for the vintage quilt is still open so be sure to put your name in the hat.

Have a great day. I promise something more fun tomorrow!

p.s. Later this week, I’ll be featuring some of your submissions to Childhood: The Fine Print so be sure to add your photographs!

giveaway: vintage mini-quilt

My little market has found its way to Etsy, thanks to one very sweet hubby. He gave me the gift of several uninterrupted hours to tie up the loose ends over the weekend. I promise not to bore you with constant shop updates but I would like to celebrate its opening and thought that a giveaway would be fun.

This sweet vintage hand-tied quilt is looking for a new home. I say “quilt” but please note that it does not have batting between the layers so it is pretty light-weight…more of  a Summer quilt. Like many vintage linens, it does have its flaws and a few tiny spots. Of course, it could also be used as a wall-hanging, a play mat or a picnic blanket. Whatever strikes your fancy.

You can earn up to THREE ENTRIES in the drawing by following the instructions below.

sneak peek

I’ve made the decision not to rush. I am so looking forward to this new venture. Still, there are loose ends. Christmas is less than two weeks away and I need to turn my attention toward finishing the gifts I’ve been working on. Still, I couldn’t resist allowing you a  peek inside.

Don’t forget to drop in on the blog tour celebrating the release of I Love Patchwork and Sew Liberated. Today the party is at TrueUp once again – an interview with Rashida.

Working on some printable Christmas gift tags for tomorrow’s post.     Enjoy your Monday.
