Latest treasures at the shop...
I was lucky to be able to buy several unused lengths of vintage fabrics from a lady who visited my shop last week...
There were two pieces of this Daisyfield design by Fothergays.

I shall be using some for cushions etc for the shop...
But some of it may find its way to the V&H Textile Fair next month (if I can bare to part with it!)
I was also able to buy two super-duper hats from the same lady.

Some in floral wallpapers and others in sheet music - Both tied with vintage seam binding and with a tiny violet embellishment.
That's all I have time for this evening...
Thank you for stopping-by and for leaving your wonderful comments.

The Dior hat is wonderful!

Everything looks so delightful! I LOVE the Noddy fabric! We used to be able to watch Noddy on tv over here when my two oldest boys were toddlers. What caught my eye most is the fabric with the daisies and black sketching... I am teaching three pen & ink classes at my daughter's school next week and your daisies fabric has given me more inspiration! ;)
ReplyDeleteHello Niki
ReplyDeleteThe rose furniture fabric is just the design I have been looking for to make a dress. But I think this fabric may be to thick for a dress in Australia.

ILOVE the daisy fabric, if you have any left by the time of the Vintage Bazaar please save some for me!

Thanks for your comments ladies...
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Dior hat has to be seen to be believed. It is very small and only perches on the top of my head rather like a fez - making me appear around 8" taller! ;-)) Hysterical, I can tell you!
