Pretty in Pink

I stumbled upon this vintage pattern recently, and I think I've found my new favorite baby set! I mean, honestly... is it possible for a crochet baby set to even get any cuter than this??? I think not!

I especially like the tiny white crochet flowers that embellish the sweater, bonnet, mittens, and booties. And I absolutely love the floral crochet baby afghan! I've never seen an afghan quite like it, and I've totally fallen in love with it.

This pattern is from 1954, and is available for purchase in my Etsy shop. :)

Christmas in August?

I was recently looking through some vintage doily patterns, and these pretties from 1950 quickly caught my eye!

They are lovely Holly Wreath Doilies, and I'm so glad there is still plenty of time to crochet some of these to give as Christmas presents this year!

If you look closely, you can see on the second photo that there are two different centers for the two doilies shown. I still don't know which center I like the best. I guess I'll have to make both variations and then decide!

This gorgeous and festive pattern is available at my Etsy shop if you'd like to make some for Christmas presents for your own friends and relatives this year. :)
