Vintage Linens at Wynona Studios for the Open Air Antique Market in downtown Oregon City Sunday August 29th, 2010.

We are very much looking forward to the Open Air Antique Fair tomorrow, Sunday the 29th of August. There are over 100 antique vendors that will be lined up along the street selling all kinds of treasures! And we will be one of them! Well….we will just be in the studio, but we have transformed our space into a vintage and antique sewing and knitting notions showroom! We have so many cool things to share, including vintage tape measures, sewing kits, grooming kits, and more. It is so hard for us to pick favorites! There are souvenir items from Mt. Washington, The White House, and Lucern Caverns. There is a little Hoover vacuum cleaner tape measure that was once a give away from some desperate door to door salesman. There is a really cool retro 60′s pop pin cushion shaped like a wicker stool. There are all kinds of buttons. Seriously, tons and tons of buttons. Newer but cool buttons, recycled buttons (from sweaters we have deconstructed) looking for a new home, and vintage buttons still on their original cards (so, so cute!).

We also have out lots of the vintage, hand-made linens we have rescued from the thrift store over the years. Dresser scarves with sunflowers, linen luncheon sets, tea napkins with teeny little embroidered baskets of flowers, teeny tiny crocheted edgings on them. We have vintage silk scarves that are to die for, Christian Dior, Liberty of London, and more. Then there are the asian style wicker sewing baskets in sizes small to large, the sewing boxes, and the fold-out sewing boxes that are my favorites. We have a few odds and ends too, a sewing machine threader, some of the wooden puzzle boxes that used to hold sewing machine parts, hem marker, and those cute pin cushions that are shaped like rocking chairs (you know, like Grandma used to have next to her sewing machine).
