things to make with felt and great knitted toys - the lion and house are my favourite. Inside the felt book are some great ideas too.
these three books i got together
some lovely turn of the century lace
50's ribbon
french vintage
1980's
60's
so there was some of my lovely bits - now what do do with them all? sell them on as they are or make things? i think the 80's would make great kitchen curtains - and the cushion are calling me..ideas?

What a lovely haul!! I think I would end up just keeping it all in a lovely pile and just look at it grinning!! Cushions sound good though - make sure you show us what you create.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what toys you make :-).....wht do you think of these tiles?.....I'm in love with the vintage patchwork ones for my bathroom, and the jellies ones for behind my new cooker.. http://www.welbeck.com/

vintage library sounds good to me! i have been looking at all the bits and still haven't decided. been making christmas decorations, which i will hopefully show later - but the first hasn't come out very well!
ReplyDeleteHi Verity!
ReplyDeleteThanks for becoming a follower on my blog! I'm now following you too.
I love your vintage buys - I also "collect" basically my whole house is one great big collection :-) I have a Picasa album of my collections which you can find through my gallery on my blog. I keep adding photos when time allows.
I was going to email you but I see that you don't have an email contact on your blogger profile - it's a good idea if you get an email address for your blog account, that way you can enter give-a-ways and also get feedback through your blog. I usually email my thank you to new followers.
Love the kittens.... too bad I'm way over "downunder"!
Happy Sewing!
