Out and about the thrift stores yesterday. Not a lot to be had.
This is one of my bete noires...a perfectly nice 1950s silk scarf ruined (at the moment) by a huge sticker. I have found this sort of thing on a Chanel scarf too! Its even worse than the tag applied with 6 staples.
I do wish they wouldn't.
Another blanket label for my collection, unfortunately the blanket needs a bit of work, a rebind looks in order.
I will also confess to buying a dozen or so more interesting scarves for my etsy shop, including a London Selfridges souvenir. This is the second one I have found in a month, never had one before and I have been collecting for 30 years.
Wow - what a collection! I've seen sticky labels on the front of books and even on furniture in charity shops here!

Wow fancy having over 700 Liberty silk scarves - amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt is so incredibly annoying when sticky lables are stuck inappropriately as in this case. I hate it in particular with the inside of shoes - you take the lable off and it spoils the lovely leather insole and leaves a discoloured and tacky mark - grrrr!!!
Great items you thrifted!
i HATE it when thrift stores put stickers on items, or write on them with marker - drives me crazy! great finds though, very lovely :)
