Retro Baby Nursery Gifts Made Out Of Vintage Colorful Tablecloths

Do You Need A Baby Gift For A Retro Mom & Baby?

New moms who like Retro accessories for their baby will enjoy "Vintage Whimsy Wipes". I found these terrific items on Etsy.com at a shop called "Shop Southern Yankee".

Made Out Of Old Vintage Tablecloths

These handmade fabric covered baby wipes are one of a kind and simply adorable. What a cute idea for a handy holder for wipes when traveling.
And I adore the bright exciting color combinations ribbon and button trim. These fun and funky baby gifts would go great with a coordinated retro diaper bag. You can find plenty of shops on Etsy.com that also make handmade diaper basg out of vintage fabrics and tablecloths.

Making A Charming Lampshade Out Of A Vintage Embroidered Dish Towel

Turn An Embroidered Vintage Gingham Doggy Dish Towel Into A Sweet Lamp Shade

This gingham doggy dish towel has a new home, it is now part of a lampshade along with other darling retro textiles.

As you already know, the Kitschy Collector is always on the look out for news ways to up-cycle vintage dry goods. And for sure, a lot of handiwork went into these fabulous lampshades.

Introducing Sassy Shades

This lampshade project was found at Sassy Shades on Etsy.com. Handmade from a red and white embroidered towel, this pooch towel is accompanied by side panels of blue, yellow, red and green stripes and a back panel of red gingham.

Add A Whimsical Touch With Colorful Vintage Aceessories

I can picture this adorable lamp in a vintage inspired baby nursery, whimsical den, bedroom or
even kitchen setting. And see how lovely stripes and gingham go together. The doggy towel can be the beginning of a lovely theme to build a room around.
