Blankets: Fall 2010

It's hard to imagine on this triple digit summer day, but I've been storing up for my fall collection. I should be out at the beach but I'm deep in wool blankets. Send iced tea. :-)

Vintage wool blanket in the perfect Pink Grapefruit. Great for chilly summer nights, evening beach parties, picnics in the park.

Gorgeous stripped yellow wool blanket. Vintage L.F Foght, Denmark.

 Sweet vintage crochet and knit blanket in deep pink w/embroidered fruit. Precious.

Stay tuned for fall shoes, curios, back to school train cases, luggage and fashion accessories.

VERA at the Beach House

Life is so funny. Sometimes what you want is right in front of your face and you don't even see it. Well, I don't anyway. Our family has a beach house that my grandfather built in the 50s. It's funky & fabulous, and our family rotates through it all summer long.
While I was there through the holiday I was searching through the linen's closet when I spotted a bright yellow and orange sticking out from the bottom pile. I knew at once. I just knew.
I got more excited than a minor striking gold. I pulled them out and was enveloped in bold butterflies! I fondled for a tag and there it was "Vera Collection, Burlington." I nearly shrieked.
All these years--all those eras!--there they sat, mostly unused, my mother later tells me--just waiting for me to discover Vintage and Vera.
So, of course, I had to share them with you. Do I keep them or sell them? There are two twin fitted & one flat sheet. They won't fit my bed. Decisions, decisions.
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying just having them and knowing where they were hiding out all these years, at home. :-)
