Favourite Vintage Finds: August 2011

Just look at this gorgeous room! It's the dreaming, playing and creating space of Lynn Barron - talented crafter, artist and writer of the magical blog Sea Angels.

Lynn created this delightful curtain from vintage machine made cotton lace. The butterflys are made from a mixed selection of cotton fabrics from damaged vintage aprons.

Another fine example of clever upcycling, Lynn created this lovely blouse from a damaged vintage handmade tablecloth.

On occasion Lynn sells her creations on her blog. One day she may open an Etsy shop...no doubt there are many (me included) dreaming of the day she does!

Enjoy the rest of your week my dears! See you next week! :)

Two lucky Favourite Vintage Finds readers will win one of these sweet vintage 40's butterfly pendants! I promised I'd give away one of these little sweeties ages ago, and I'm giving away another one to celebrate my 2 year blogoversary which took place on the 7th of this month. Thank you so much my dears for your visits, comments, and friendship! :)

These pendants feature a natural garnet gemstone and measure 1.2 cm across (half and inch). They are silver-gilt (sterling silver coated with a fine layer of gold) and bear the 925 (sterling silver) stamp on the back. I purchased a job lot of 16 of these pendants and they set my heart aflutter. Originally sourced in England, they were stored away for decades by their previous owner, and are one of my all time favourite vintage finds.
