Country Primitive Textiles

I want to share with you my love of antique and vintage country and primitive textiles.  The not so perfect pieces from the past that have seen happiness as well as hardship. You'll see children to adult calicos, homespun and basic woolen clothing, homespun household textiles, country quilts, blankets and other simple household linens.

Many will be with small holes, stains and mended areas.  Make-do, a way of the past, if you will, nevertheless charming and endearing. In past times, country folk never wasted anything, and found a way to bring cheer and a smile with a scrap of brightly colored cloth. Take a walk down memory lane and be inspired by a simpler yet more rewarding time in life.

The Gatherings Antique Vintage also carries other types of primitive items that have a relationship to the simple way of country life.
