You might have some luck finding the exact technique by looking in 60's/70's "crafts for the home" book. I've had a lot of luck just browsing the "make it yourself" arts section of my public library--for some reason they never get rid of those things. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-72001871617301220512012-04-10T10:15:02.146-05:002012-04-10T10:15:02.146-05:00Is the picture of the Pitcher/Decanter with glasse...Is the picture of the Pitcher/Decanter with glasses painted on fabric. My mother use to do this when I was young. Everything she created is gone and i have been trying to find out what was used and do this myself now. <br /><br />Would you happen to have any idea what the tubes of were? I'm figuring they were pre-printed pictures on the fabric.letthemwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347978083249236067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-24899827440518932702011-06-05T14:16:19.405-05:002011-06-05T14:16:19.405-05:00@Zootsuitmama: How cool!

I don't always make out so well as the sale with all the furniture but 80% of the time I find something. I like to daydream sometimes about what it would be like to operate (ie go to thrift stores and estate sales in all available free time) in a bigger city-- think of how wide a net you could cast!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-73900367370177000582011-06-04T23:14:32.019-05:002011-06-04T23:14:32.019-05:00Love love love your den!

Around here all you find are auctions with nothing but good old boy farm tools sold by good old boy auctioneers who know nothing of mid century vintage...furniture or clothing. In fact, they usually tell the families to take all that sort of thing to charity shops before the sale because they 'don't sell that junk'.Dolly the Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474700945219253368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-49072888892706809472011-06-04T00:43:17.789-05:002011-06-04T00:43:17.789-05:00Oh my!

And it's apparently a very popular brand in I think microphones or amplifiers to this day... I've mentioned it to a musician or two who've been like "No way! Telefunken!"

You all know how it is being a collector and how being able to show off your "good stuff" is just such a thrill.<br /><br />@Eartha: re: pillows: No way! My timing is never good. But that's nice of you! My cat pillow used to have a bow and a bell around his neck but it's somewhere in the great void.
