Past Thrifting Treasures...

These are items I have found out thrifting this past year. This lovely vintage shaker... with a crack on top :(  Still it looks lovely sitting on my stove back
Sweet vintage earrings.  Thinking of using them to make other jewelry, just not sure what yet.












Lovely vintage tablecloth... with a few small holes - in the center.  May make an apron/aprons from it. 
I have made several aprons from vintage linens and liked the way they turned out.  Wonder if there is a market for them on Etsy?  Here's one I am working on now made from a vintage linen dresser scarf...  Not sure if I should ad pockets with hankies or not... what do you think?  It is a very small apron - for a petite woman or older girl. The hankies may be too large.
