Union 22...

On Saturday, I ventured over to Union 22...it's an Antique/Vintage Shop in beautiful downtown Cobble Hill!  Yes, there is a downtown to Cobble Hill...consisting of  a post office, Vet, wee Grocery Store, Consignment Shop, Curves (excercise/weight loss place) and a Pub...and that's it!  Blink and you have gone by!  

So...here we are inside Union 22.  This use to be an old house and now every room is packed with old vintage goodies!  Let's wander...you just never know what will catch your fancy...




What!? No vintage/antique quilts?



That wreath is made out of burlap!



 NOW...this is what I really wanted to show YOU!!  Sweet little lavender Sachets!  They are made out of ticking fabric and old vintage doilies and they are sweet as can be...and SEW simple to make!

And filled with Lavender (...did you know that Lavender will keep moths at bay?)  So if you tuck one or two of these in among your wool bowl fillers you won't get moths!  These are a good thing! 

 If you have a drawer full of doilies, then get 'em out and start cutting!  Yup...I have the doilies and the ticking...and I have lavender in the garden!  So I am in business...I just need to wait for the lavender to grow! ..... Is it Spring yet?

Hope you enjoyed the Field Trip....I must whip out my camera more often!

Have a thrilling Tuesday and Happy Stitching!~P

  1. Great photos... I love poking around that kind of shop too....years ago when I'd go rummaging with my Gram she always called that sort of place a curiosity shop and I still always think of them like that.

  5. Does the sign read $7 each? Seems quite high. You will cut up your doilies? Love what the pillows are in!

  6. Looks like a fun place to poke around and get inspired by.

    So did anything come home with you other than inspiration?

  9. Thanks for sharing your photos. I love going to antique shops and flea markets. The lavender sachets reminded me how much I like lavender. So, I'm thinking of making some those too. :)

  10. what a wonderful place to browse in, so many things to see and admire. I made a lavender cushion in 1993 and believe it or not it still has a very slight wiff of lavender, suppose it is time I refreshed it
