Vintage Rose Runner



I was happy to find a few sweet and springy linens just in time for Pink Saturday! I am crazy over vintage rose prints, and this one has a textured fabric and a pink ruffle trim.



Few of us cover our dresser and table tops with runners these days, but I think this fabric would look cheery over a nursery room chair or maybe as a hand towel in the powder room.




I also found a beat up old ironstone basin that has a few cracks, and will be used mainly for display anyway. It's already helping me show off this rosy runner in its best light.

















I always feel lucky to get vintage hand towels in pairs. They make such nice gifts that way. These cross-stitch towels were a thrift store find. They make nice napkins too.


















 
I hope your weekend is rosy too! Get lots of sleep because you'll have one less hour before it's all over. Spring forward ya'll!

  10. You always have such pretty linens! I bought an embroidery pattern for redwork pillowcases, since I can't seem to find any vintage sets. You inspired me to look for vintage lace edging to add to them when I'm done. Yesterday I found enough for one and I have plenty of time to look for more, since I haven't started embroidering yet. :@

  12. Oh so very pretty and sweet. Anything with roses captures my heart. A lovely pairing with the pitcher and basin.
    I don't like to lose the hour of sleep for one night but I welcome the extra hour of daylight right through spring and summer.
    Have a lovely weekend.

Been wanting to do this since before Christmas...thanks for the gentle nudge!Keep 'em coming!
    Fondly,
    Pat
