So remember how I was telling ya’ll about my bad day? And my shopping solution? Well I accidently created a monster!
I have a new obsession… and I am once again about to scour the local thrift stores in search of…
VINTAGE SHEETS!
I’m totally in love with these beauties! My plan is to collect some more and then I am going to go nuts making vintage sheet quilts! 😀 There is something so soothing and homey about vintage sheets… so add in the awesomeness of a handmade quilt and it really can’t get any more perfect!
I’m thinking something along the lines of…
And here is the best part… well for me the best part… I already know where the first one is going to go! Remember how in my 30 before I’m 30 post I talked about wanting to donate some quilts to charities/auctions? Well the first vintage sheet quilt I make is going to go up for auction to help support #AdoptionRocks!
But there’s the thing… I need more sheets! And that’s where you come in!! There are only a couple of thrift stores within decent driving distance of where I live. All the staff now knows that I am on the look out… but even with their help its gonna take a while to get enough variety to make a good looking quilt!
Will you help me out?
Will you scour your local thrift stores? Your linen closet? Your mother’s linen closet??? Even vintage pillow cases are ok! A few stains and the odd hole won’t matter either!
If you have some sheets you’d be willing to donate to a very worthy cause, I’d love to bless you with some credit to my shop! So what say you? Interested in helping me out? *nod your head yes* 🙂 send an email to jenniferjayne13 {at} gmail {dot} com

How beautiful they all are. I tend to just see "junk" when I look at old things, but thanks to Pinterest and some creative bloggers, I'm starting to see "potential" and "vintage" in old stuff. I'll keep my eyes open for you.
