stormy weather.
It’s a gloomy Sunday here in central Texas & the cat and I are holed up at home, being cozy & quiet. I’m using the downtime to get caught up on a ton of laundry, including cleaning & soaking vintage textiles, blankets and odds & ends. The pile of “to wash” and “to soak” in my work room is pretty embarrassing, so it’s nice to finally make a dent. I’ve also done a bit of re-arranging of furniture, hanging of frames & started a batch of onion soup in the crockpot. Now I think I’ll sit down with an audio-book & get some hand-sewing done on an equally embarrassing pile of “to mend” vintage clothing. It’s just that sort of weather.
Since we hate the dull beige of our (rented) walls, we’re covering them with art & frames. The wall behind our dining table is turning into my “creepy vintage group photo” collection display. I picked up those black frames on super sale at Target last week.
Townes has taken over the basket where I keep wool lap blankets. He likes it better than his actual cat bed.
So excited about this 1930s Pendleton blanket I found for an absolute song at an estate sale a few months back. It’s been in the freezer, a great way to make sure no moth larvae get into the house, and I washed it gently this morning in the bath-tub. It’s got several holes, but it’s bright & sturdy & I love it.
More vintage textiles soaking in the kitchen sink. Just a basic soak of off-brand oxi-clean for this lot.
