Late last
night, long past when I should have been asleep in preparation for today’s yard-sale-ing,*
it seemed like a great time to start a little no-sew vintage sheet project I’d
been thinking about.
Impulse
control? Never heard of it.
I’ll be
a vintage vendor at two outdoor events later this summer and I wanted to make
something colorful to flutter gently in the mild summer breezes that will be blowing
softly through my vintage-packed canopy tent.
(This
post is actually a subliminal message for the weather gods. I hope they receive
it so I don’t end up with something colorful and sopping wet flapping madly in
the hurricane-force winds beating against my rain-soaked canopy).
And I
wanted it to be fast and easy.
Like
tying-knots-onto-string-easy.
And it
was.
Have a
wonderful weekend!

OMG....that is adorable. Will not pass up the next set of vintage sheets like this again. I promised myself I wouldn't go garage-saling tomorrow, but your post must be a sign. I have to now!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I had wanted to do somethng similar but now may have to rethink it. The weather god's are being good to us today...just some little spinks ( so far)
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea...and your post title is Hi-lar-e-us!!!
ReplyDeleteHow incredibly clever of you!! Just one more thing I'll have to add to my list. They'll be so pretty dancing in the gentle breeze.
ReplyDeleteJune-uary! That cracked me up and isn't it the truth. Can we get two days of summer weather in a row please??
ReplyDeleteLove the banner. I have a big pile of little strips left over from another project and ought to do something like that with them. I could use it to replace the prayer flags the squirrels stole from my pergola. They did make a pretty squirrel nest!
Really sorry to hear you gave them the wrong message. It appears your weather came here and not there. 90 and muggy today 102 and hell on Sunday no less. Do another one please. Love this banner. Would look cute across curtain top too. Smiles...Renee
ReplyDeleteLaughing at your post title.
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend, people are going to bee-line straight to your vintage packed, non-rain soaked canopy. That is seriously the cutest fluttery thing ever.
I think I'm going to start collecting vintage sheets so I can copy you.
It's deja vu all over again.
Hilarious post, but I seriously love the vintage sheet idea. You'll be noticed for sure!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect idea! I have some sheets here.. Hmm? Nope, I can't get myself to do such a task.It will be noticed for sure.
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet weekend,
xxx Liz
Love this sweet and summery banner! Have a lovely weekend! xo Heather
ReplyDeletestruck out huh? Me too. At least we had the high of the road trip and our Christmas Thursdays to tide us over.
ReplyDeleteThe answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind...with that cute vintage sheet garland!
That project couldn't be more "Authentically Amy" if you tried.....Perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to fringe my canopy too!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love these! I'm planning on making one of these with my grand dughter the next time she spends the night!
ReplyDeleteSorry your plans got rained out. :(
What a fabulous idea! They will look so cute and be eye-catching, I'm sure.
ReplyDeletePlease feel free to send any unwanted rain this way. We are PARCHED! I can't think of a better, prettier use for vintage sheets. And it's easy too, which is right up my lazy alley!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with Carol. You send rain, I will send sun and lots of it. Love the banner and thinking this would be cute for Christmas too.
ReplyDeleteblessings, jill
I love this idea, so simpel and so much fun :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely adorable! I may make one or 2 for my front verandah......
ReplyDeleteNancy
