Its not often I find 2 Hermes scarves in one day at the thrifts, in fact, it has only happened on a couple of other occasions.
But, yesterday these two scarves were added to my collection.. ' Le Mort "A La Conetable" ' in perfect condition. Super chartreuse border that rather suits me.
A black and grey little number......not quite perfect but good enough for me, I am sure to get a lot of wear out of it. No Liberty scarves, or Jacqmar, but Hey! you can't win 'em all.
I also picked up a length of Sanderson ( I think, no selvedge) William Morris ' Lily ' , a different colorway than my dining room chairs.
Value Village had 2 yards on their tag. It was not that at all. 2 yards was the width with a seam. The length was only 1 and a third yards. If I had known I would not have paid $2.99.
Oh, also a dramatic pair of barkcloth floral drapes, still in the car.
My theory was that not many people would be out thrifting yesterday....too bloody cold.

Love the Hermes scarves.
ReplyDeleteHavn't thrifted one for over a year, so I was pleased.
Delete'Jealous' doesn't even begin to cover it. Well done :)
ReplyDeletei am longing to be in NZ next week.....bloody freezing here. And yes, it was a good day.
Deletejust how cold is it there Jan? and are you coming back for a defrost and a holiday soon? Hermes scarves-very impressive, what great additions to your collection. So great to hear from you and have you linking in, keep warm xxx
ReplyDeleteMax, it is - 30 Celsius today.....we are in a Polar Vortex, or sothe weather people say.
DeleteYES...we are leaving on Sunday, coming via The Cook Islands where we will stay for a week. Then on to Nelson where I shall be haunting the thrifts and linking with you,
Oh dear! ONLY a couple of other occasions -you poor thing! ;)
ReplyDeletedo I detect a touch of sarcasm, surely not?
DeleteI have found two Hermes on two other occasions but I though there were too many twos in the sentence.
You're not the only one that was thrifting in the cold. We went yesterday (-23 degrees). I was in quest of some black fabric to stitch into my purses. Blouses and a couple of men's shirts fit the need quite nicely and at a fraction of the cost of 'new' fabric. All now washed and hacked up into useable bits and buttons added to my button jar.
ReplyDeleteThats what I like to hear.
