In my experience, op-shopping can be terribly hit and miss. In my case, more miss than hit!
But this time, I totally came up trumps!
My loot? Total crafty-lovers porn: A huge jar of vintage buttons, an old ivory knife, a gorgeously vibrant vintage pillowslip (perfect for my Summer range dresses and bloomers!) and AND some totally adorable patterns for baby rompers, sundresses, hats and more that have me literally salivating for some spare moments to jump on my sewing machine!
I cannot wait to whip up some Summer delights for my shop with these finds.
Unfortunately, it will have to wait. We're off to New Zealand tomorrow for a week! V exciting!
What trumps have you scored from the thrift stores of late?
Great finds Nicole - those patterns look gorgeous, I can see why you're so eager to get sewing!! That fabric is really lovely and I have a similar knife which is perfect for icing cupcakes :) I've been madly sewing all morning too, made heaps of progress on Grace's quilt only to have my machine play up now that I'm halfway through and all motivated!! Enjoy New Zealand xx
