Sometimes I like bolder prints among more neutral backgrounds. Vintage fabric free from your mum?! Highly jealous, and you're right, the sentimental value attached to these fabrics is so precious too. xAnna @ Miss Beatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14565943094937521882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787053717148644728.post-4524065738355691892013-02-17T11:52:56.595+00:002013-02-17T11:52:56.595+00:00It's a funny charity shop really as it mostly ...It's a funny charity shop really as it mostly has modern homewares, books and clothes, and then these sheets pop up every now and again hidden among the other bedding.

Add to that very limited offline shopping time and I tend to go for eBay and Etsy every time (big fan of Pattern Like too - and FrauSvensson too, but her colours might not suit your taste). That said, I'm super lucky as I have loads of vintage fabric FREE from my mum who is passing her stash over to me bit by bit. I love using fabric that will always make me think of her every time I glimpse it (as I'm sure that pillowcase makes you think of your granny).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025179704678543225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787053717148644728.post-30181289507918512722013-02-15T22:58:38.781+00:002013-02-15T22:58:38.781+00:00You always manage to bag some lovely finds Anna!

Sad that you're taking a little break, don't work too hard! But looking forward to seeing who your guest bloggers are!

I also remember everyone having embroidered tablecloths in the 80s just like the one you have. I need to see if my mum still has any lying around in the attic, I'd love to get my hands on them! xJenny @ Sunday Girlhttp://anothersundaygirl.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787053717148644728.post-86104365419723441632013-02-15T11:40:29.059+00:002013-02-15T11:40:29.059+00:00What a lovely collection!

It's great when you find a charity shop that no other vintage shoppers seen to have found. I have one round the corner from me that is packed with vintage tea cups and sewing bits. I love it!<br /><br />I posted yesterday about some of my vintage fabric collection.
