You can't teach an old dog new tricks. I think that sums me up.
So what did I find at the thrift stores last week?
Three more Liberty scarves for my vast collection.
The first paisley in beautiful pinks and eau de nil......but....printed in a circle....love it and am wearing it as I type.
Two more old ones with my favorite sort of label, both a small foulard print.
Rummaging around in the
Now, who would throw out a vibrant, unfinished Ehrman needlepoint kit? Do you know how much they cost??
For $1.99 how could I leave it? I am very tempted to finish it myself.
Ooh, I think that silvery grey one is my favourite Jan. Have fun if you decide to give in to temptation and complete those shoes.
ReplyDeleteLoving these luscious goodies. What a dapper Dan the gent that wore these gems is or must have been.
ReplyDeleteI used to needlepoint ALL the time. You're right---who would just throw it away? They were expensive hand painted canvases as I recall.
You have some fab-O shops that you visit to always turn up these amazing textiles. I love those older Liberty prints.
Hope you are well. I'm reading "Shooting Victoria" about the many attempts on the Queen's life. What about you?
Lovely finds!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great eye finding treasures.
Would love to go to that market.
Wonderful finds! I think I might just have to succumb to going to a few yard sales over the summer to see what I might be able to score. Not that I need anything!!
ReplyDeleteI adore the shoe tapestry
