I just discovered orange spots on a Victorian whitework and lace tablecloth. The cloth was clean when I stored it so I'm assuming it has reacted to something in the same drawer. It was with other old white pieces but some have never been laundered...

I have always been a luver of antiques & vintage, I continue to haunt antique stores and estate sales...always looking for that buried treasure of all collectibles. I believe in the restoration and preservation of antiques and vintage. I specialize in vintage linens, and textiles. I am learning more about quilts all the time! I have also repaired, refinished, and reupholstered antique furniture. You can see my vintage at:

At long last vacation time for me, but I can't leave those antique malls alone! :O)
It's been ages since I've been on the blog...I know I'm just terrible! I was at the point of computer overload! LOL All work and very little 'play' made me a very grumpy gal!

'Going Green' With Estate Sales...
I'm finding myself wanting to expand on comments I'm leaving on friends' blogs today!
I find that there are more people attending estate sales, and the line ups are horrendous!!! More people are watching their money, so it isn't just antique 'pickers' like myself who are attending. More people are furnishing their homes with vintage.
Due to the economy, I think more people are 'going green' without realizing it. For example, I've seen a young couple looking for furniture for their apartment, and… Continue

My Handmade Vintage Jewelled Photo Frames ~ Beautiful & Sparkling! They Can Be Yours To Treasure!
Recently, I have been getting back to my 'crafty' side! I have started creating my Vintage Jewelled Photo Frames. These first two vintage wooden frames came from a local estate sale. I found them during one of my treasure hunts! One of them has a photo of a very young Robert Taylor, who was a prevalent leading man in the motion picture industry. The photo of him in the one frame, appears to be from the late 1930's to 1940's.
The other picture frame was empty, so I printed the image of a vintage… Continue

- Thanks for the comments on my pics. Re: the WWII pics, I am working on a booklet on Collectibles of the WWI and WWII Workbasket Campaigns. I hope to complete it by the latter part of next year. I will post a blog on iantiqueonline.com containing a greatly abridged version of the book, prior to publishing the book. Regards, Karen

- Happy Thanksgiving Diane, I'm sorry I have not yet responded to your question about the industrial weaving spool. I looked at it, looks pretty standard to me, but I still have to research my book. However, I have other priorities I have to attend to first. I promised to post some pics of sewing machine covers on my page for some treadle sewing machine collectors. I will tell you book info and whether I find anything after I have posted those pics. Regards, Karen

- Hi there!! There is wood flooring under the flooring. I havent lifted it up yet to see the condition but if its as good in the closet as it is in the bedroom I'm reallyyyyy excited!!! I just love my old house!

Scott said… - It depends how the condition is. If they are undamaged maybe 30.00 each?
Ebay may not get that much because there is so much available on there and the market for middle of the road type shakers is somewhat flat but who knows.

- Hi,
Nice to hear from you! Your shakers are made by Consolidated Lamp & Glass late 1800s. The pattern is called"Fish" in a pink cased glass. Nice examples!

- Hey Diane, I hope the funeral was not too traumatic for you. You take care. I mostly collect hand-textile tools and only collect 5 actual, very specific, textile categories: aprons that were meant to be worn while doing needlework, sewing machine stitch-sample mini-aprons, crochet samplers, hankies/scarves with sewing themes, and sewing machine scarves for treadle sewing machines. I am not sure what you mean by weaving machine spool. I assume you mean the (usually) large spools used by industrial weaving machines, although sometimes spools are used in handweaving. I do not know a lot about either type, but I have a few and I have a book on industrial spools. However, if I remember correctly, the book is NOT very comprehensive. You said you would list it on your website, do you mean here? Or do you have a separate website? You may not be able to date it, but if we can determine what mill used the spool you may be able to learn more. Are there any markings on the spool? Once I see a picture I will tell you if I can tell you anything about the spool. Regards, Karen
