Quilts and Blankets

I love a good well made Quilt or Blanket, especially ones that are either handmade or wool.  Most of the items that I have are pre-owned and may have flaws or stains which I try to point out. Here are some that I have presently and how I treat them. I highly recommend Cold water, gentle cycle wash and hang to dry. If there are any stains, I try to leave it in the sun longer.   Sometimes I happen to come across some that pass the smell test for Moth Balls and my recommendation for this is a soak in the bath tub with room temperature water, a small amount of soap and half a cup of vinegar. Rinse in cold water and spin in the spin cycle and then days in the sun. I have also had good results by freezing them in the winter outdoors.  Here are a few of the latest quilts  https://posh.mk/lqolkHDSWHb This is a pre-owned handmade quilt which is reversible with orange stripped material on one side and multi color on the other. Condition is in nice pre-loved with the exception of one stain which

Fascination with enamelware

Bought this thinking  I would do this  Sold it on Poshmark to someone who had their Mother's that had been used a lot over the years. It makes me happy when someone finds these unique things thanks to the internet. 

Vintage green cooler Feb 2024

 This is from the 60's. It was painted over. A slight scratch reveals the original maker on front. It's perfect for a case of beer or softdrinks. Great for a day trip or picnic. Measures 11" h x 15.5" w x 9" d I bought this at Eco depot Montreal years ago and never used it and even had a hard time letting go as it was just a cool piece. Anyhow I am happy that it was going to be raffled for a 60's party.

Repairing Leather Gloves

 These are my favorite gloves given to me by my Mother in Law Patsy over 30 years ago. She always made every gift very special. I only wear them when it's extremely cold as they are fur lined. This presents a problem when trying to repair the as it's impossible to turn the inside out. I have been lucky to still manage to repair at the seams but the leather is wearing thin. I may have to add some additional leather over or completely replace sections but for now this will do.  I recently saw a you tuber replace the finger tips with a used chamois cloth. It might be something I use for my suede work gloves with a hole in the finger
