Yesterday was the last Sunday antique market at the local fairgrounds for 2014. My first purchase of the morning brought sunshine to my day. This late 19th century top has a couple double-pink fabric tears, but its been reproduced and repair shouldn't be a problem. I think this top was meant to find me. The dealer had the top for only one day - fate!
These old linens will look great in the summer kitchen. The top one is a towel and the bottom one looks like a table runner ($2 each and in perfect condition).
I found a mulberry transferware plate to add to my collection. Fall is the perfect season to display mulberry dishes.
I also found a glass frog for flower arranging for $.50 and old perforated quilting stencils for $1. A crisp autumn morning for a treasure hunt! And the BEARS WON!!!
