I love that idea for the hot pads!
The watering can with flowers is sweet. I have not seen a design yet that had a watering can in it that I did not like.
It's a hankie. The round style is kind of rare.
I agree, it's a hankie. I found one a couple of years ago with a very similar design.,
Love the hot pads and door decoration.
Howhat a cute idea. I love to change quilts, etc with the season. By the way, which antique shop was that?
I love that little door decoration!
Oh, and that mirror looks like it might be German or something.
I was surprised to look at some of your reds in the border and see reds that I have in my collection, too. I don't know why it surprises me to see someone else with the same fabric but it always does.
The words at the top of your mirror translate to:
"Be clean and neat on your clothes
The birds they know their feathers"
The word at the bottom translates to "comb."
They are Dutch.
It's a lovely mirror and comb holder.
How fun to get a translation--it is a very cute little mirror. Love the round hankie, too.
That is a really fun door hanging--yes, it would be great in seasonal colors (this from someone who recently went overboard translating a pattern for all seasons).
Ooo--fun stuff from Karen. I absolutely swooned over her little log cabin borders! Can't wait to see what you create. : )
What cute stuff. I love your usage of little scraps. Great idea.
Greetings,
Sylvia
very cute halloween fabrics! love your new little quilt, like the borders added, yes make one for fall now!
doily is pretty. but I am sure its a hanky my aunt had one like that when I was little I remember thinking thats a funny hanky round and she said it was to be able to fold easily, hadn't thought about that for years

Lots of fun in this post! Love the little quilt and those strings look very interesting!
Love your little door decoration. It certainly would look great in fall colours (my favorite colours). Thanks for the link to Karen, I saw a lot of things I like on her blog so now I'm stalking her too LOL. Sweet antique treasures you got there. Enjoy.
Such cute finds! Hubby and I are going to an antique fair tomorrow. I hope to find some deals.
Cute little quilt, Julie! Wonderful finds at the antique shop too. The little mirror is darling. Can't wait to see your little log cabins too! Will you paper piece them?
Lots of great stuff as usual! The door decoration is adorable in reds and borders all around :)
Such a cute watering can!
Hi JUlie, enjoyed catching up with your posts. Loved your vintage finds. Hugs, O'faigh
I just LOVE log cabin blocks! I can't wait to see yours.
No wasting at your house...fun to see others gift you too!
I love your little watering can quilt!
Great idea for the hot pads - you are the epitome of "waste not want not".
the correct translation is" birds are known by their feathers"..
It was common to have a mirror with storage for a comb, next to the frontdoor, so you could check your appearance before going out. Sometimes there was room for a clothing brush too. In my parents house and at my gran's we had something similar.
Funny something like that turned up in your vicinity! Probably immigrant property I guess.
The spelling is very old too..probably before 1946
