Early this morning Saga and I went to the Alameda Antique-Flea Market. I found a few things that I really love. I love this one stall that sell old nightshirts. She has the unbleached linen ones that are over 100 years old. I love just touching them. She also sells bolts of vintage linen. I finally bought a nightdress. I can't stop looking at it, with its beautiful French seams and sweet collar.
I also bought these gingham duvet covers and one sham. They are from Germany, and were just $5.00 a piece. I wanted to make a shirt for me and a dress for Saga, but I can't imagine putting scissors to them.
I picked up these vintage knitting and crocheting books. They have wonderful patterns. I have to make this coat for Saga. What a day. It is funny because it is always freezing there. Located on the bay, and always under the fog. I can't wait to go back next month.

Love those vintage goodies - especially the books!
oooo - ooooo - oooooo! Going to the Alameda Flea Market has been on my to do list FOREVER! Maybe next month Viv and I will meet up with you and Saga for some early AM shopping!
Wow, that's a great haul -- love that little dress on the cover of one of your finds. Thanks for stopping by Mingling Yarn, appreciate your comment. And the orange buttons (7/26)? I'd say use orange buttons any chance you get!
I love those patterns that you found! After my first crochet lesson with my Grammie, she brought over a bunch of patterns just like that for me to play around with. Unfortunately, I'm still at the washcloth stage!
That crochet coat is beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my blog too :)
Oh, I love the nightdress. The patterns are such a great find!
I love the picture on that Juvenile Styles book! Great finds!
Love the gingham - perfect summer dress material, although I'd definitely have a hard time chopping this up too!
