I have always been a luver of antiques & vintage. I continue to haunt antique stores and estate sales...always looking for that buried treasure of all collectibles. I believe in the restoration and preservation of antiques and vintage. I specialize in vintage linens, and textiles. I am learning more about quilts all the time! I have also repaired, refinished, and reupholstered antique furniture.
Take a look at my blogs and antique / vintage websites:
I have been a member of the Vintage Tablecloth Lovers Club for a few years now. My Tablecloth Moto: Stained I may be...but oh...what a history!

I used to sneak out of bed late at night, way past my bed time, to watch the late show on T.V., especially to see Errol Flynn, or Tyrone Power, in their swashbuckling Hollywood roles! Movies like "Captain Blood", "The Sea Hawk", and "The Black Swan", were my favorites! It wasn't easy to tip toe past my parents room, as my mother was…

During the 1950's Naval…
