Hope you have a wonderful and restful holiday weekend!

Kim signature

a pretty watercolor of a church - one of 8 picks for this week's Friday Favorites - Living VintageThis is a lovely watercolor of an old church in New England.

 

a simple linen apron (it's a sewing tutorial) - one of 8 picks for this week's Friday Favorites - Living VintageI had to share this sewing tutorial.  Someone may be getting one of these pretty aprons for Christmas.

 

beautiful denim fabric - one of 8 picks for this week's Friday Favorites - Living VintageWhen I shop for fabrics, I gravitate towards thicker home decor fabrics like this beautiful denim.

 

love this pie safe - one of 8 picks for this week's Friday Favorites - Living VintageIsn’t this a pretty blue pie safe!

 

shabby soviets - one of 8 picks for this week's Friday Favorites - Living VintageThe title of this photo is “shabby soviets” which is think is quite symbolic and appropriate.

 

sometime it's the reflection that's more captivating - one of 8 picks for this week's Friday Favorites - Living VintageThis is a reflection of a tree in a pond.  Pretty neat, huh.

 

an art exhibit using mostly torn paper - one of 8 picks for this week's Friday Favorites - Living VintageThis piece of art entitled “I Am Your Mirror” represents an artist’s view of empty billboards, believing they reflect “fading dreams and new beginnings.”

 

affordable housing - one of 8 picks for this week's Friday Favorites - Living VintageThis is one of the houses in Bluffton, South Carolina’s Wharf Street Redevelopment Project.

Adorable, isn’t it.

We’d love to one day be a part of a similar affordable housing project in East Texas.

    Hi Kim,
    I never tire of your posts, so simple and so interesting, I always look forward to seeing Living Vintage in my lists of email!
    I was wondering if you know who makes the beautiful dishes in the blue pie safe. They are probably not in my budget but I LOVE them:)
    Have a great day,
    Christa

      Wow, what a wonderful compliment. Thank you so much, Christa! Unfortunately, I have no idea who makes the dishes, and BH&G’s website doesn’t provide any information. So sorry that I can’t help.

    we live in san marcos in an 1100 sq ft home
    i think we could go smaller (700 or so)
    i would love to move into one of these developments
    this should be the future in housing

      You have perfectly captured in words and sentiment why we would want to be involved in constructing a pocket housing neighborhood.

      Judi, if you click on the image in the pin, it should always take you to the source website, in this case the tutorial. 🙂

          Well, the pin didn’t work either, but I found it on the Purl Bee website. I’m not able to paste the link here for some reason. If you head to the http://www.purlbee.com and search for Simple Linen Apron, you will find it.

            Thanks, Karen. The Purl Bee must have changed their URL after I pinned it. I fixed the pin. Glad you were able to find the tutorial. Thanks for letting me know!
