Grandma’s house is
Warm. Cluttered.
Safe.
The clock doesn’t hurry.
Cookies from scratch.
Chipped teacups with stories to tell.
Floral couch.
Magazines piled high.
Sun drentched floor.
Faded quilts.
Dust bunnies.
Safe.
Warm. Collected.
Memories.
Love.
How Grandma’s house sparked my love of vintage
I loved going to Grandma’s . Curling up on the floral couch wrapped up in her handmade quilt! Studying the vintage floral designs of the fabrics. Fabrics from old clothing, curtains, discarded pieces of pre-loved shirts. Watching her bake those soft buttermilk cookies or my favorite oatmeal butterscotch chip cookies!!
The vintage lace curtains blowing in the wind, dust particles floating down like sparkling snow. Time felt slower, peaceful. Sometimes she would let me hold the bright colored vintage glass shoes. What a treat.
