Nancy has a collection of stamped samplers from Vogart on Flickr. I may have linked to this before but it's worth another mention. And, Floresita has an interview with Nancy over at Vintage Transfer Finds.
The reason I was at Vintage Transfer Finds was to find the pattern of the girl with the huge knife because I had just seen a finished version in an online slide show called Threads of Comfort: The Work of our Mothers' Hands from the Lacis Museum of Lace & Textiles. There are photos of embroidered towels, dresser scarves and aprons, crochet potholders, quilts and more examples of vintage needlework.
Look at the pantaloons! I don't even know what this pretty thing is but I'd scoop it up if I found it for sale somewhere. Does anyone know what this was used for? I wish I could go see this exhibit in person.
Hi Patty,
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered you on Woof Nanny's blog. Came over to introduce myself, and found myself on your side bar! (Patra's Aprons). Love your blog - I've added it to my favorites, and will be adding it to my side bar shortly.
cheers,
Gina in Oz.
Is that yo-yo thing a belt of some sort? Of course I don't know anyone with a waist that small. Hmmm. Maybe it's not a belt. I *think* the other may be a placemat?? Just guessing! The vintage "Silver" transfer is soooo cute! I have several silver/china/glass transfers that I hope to get to someday!
