I got some exciting free stuff today! I like it when that happens. I also bought a really neat 60s style dresser that I'm going to repaint, and I got a dress in the mail! But let's focus on the free stuff.
I was at my mom's and I noticed this little box hanging out in her bedroom.
Aha! It's full of costume jewelry!!!
Shiny things to be looked at!! Apparently this all used to belong to a lady I've known my whole life who died a few years ago. I'm sure I've been through it before, but I guess I wasn't interested back then. However, seeing how I'm kind of trying to replace my wardrobe piece by piece with vintage stuff...
She said I could take any of it, but this was all I wanted.I never wear a watch because they always seem big and clunky or silly looking. But this one is tiny and dainty. And I have to wind it up every day! That's really appealing to me.
I also got some old flour sacks from my grandma- she seems to have a neverending supply of them. They all have the best patterns ever! I think it'd be neat to make a quilt from them.

Those patterns are darling, they would definitely make a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love those patterns, are they flour sacks or fabrics? Unbelievable! Love your blog.

Nesa - they're flour sacks! In the 1930s and 40s [I think], different things like flour and horse feed came in sacks made of colorful fabric - a lot of people [including my grandma's family] would then use that fabric to make clothes and dresses!
