Today is all trash day in our city and I saved this old cotton chenille bath mat from the landfill!  I have no idea how old it is but it belonged to my hubby’s parents.

I just can’t throw away awesome vintage finds!  What about you?

I’m linking to Coloradolady: Vintage Thingee Thursday.  Check out other vintage posts!

I’m off to work at Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop in Williamsburg, Iowa today.  It’s also my favorite place to buy fabric so it’s a good thing I work there, too!

Thanks!  Have a great day!  🙂 Linda

Quite a few years ago, I acquired this coffee pot at an estate sale.  Coffee is brewed by pouring boiling water over the grounds.  This is my favorite method for making perfect coffee and I usually use a Melitta Cone Filter Coffee Maker.  However, when you bang the glass pot against the sink, it breaks!

So, out comes my vintage coffee pot, which  holds the cone filter perfectly.  The pot looks great on my counter and I’ve got my excellent coffee every morning.  The original brewer works fine but I prefer using the filter for less sediment.

I love it when I can use vintage!
