Last week I got the urge to thrift shop. When don't I right. LOL I've been trying really hard not to go and just redo the things I already have. Some of my signs I just painted were redo's :-) But I hadn't been to the one I LOVE in Amish country for awhile and you all know what I buy there. Yep, you guessed it fabric. On an average I can get a yard for $2-$3 You can't beat that.
I also found some AWESOME cross stitch charts...
I finally found some velvet!!!! Woot Woot!!! Now I can make my velvet strawberries. And of course vintage fabric.
So perfect for Spring!!! I think I'm going to try coffee staining the birds a bit. They are quite bright. I think I want to try putting at least the nest and a bird in a jar.
I saw a tutorial on Pinterest how to turn the broom into a prim broom. And you all know my pewter infatuation!!! I'm now buying it whenever I see it and if it is a duplicate I am reselling them. This one has already gone onto a good home.
This gorgeous patina metal bucket!!! LOVE!!!! Not sure if I will use it outside or inside.
I think I made out like a bandit!!!! LOL.
Now, as I said before I'm restructuring my selling blog. I will be posting pictures of my booth when new items are added for my customers who shop there. I will also be posting Web Exclusives on there too. This means for those of you who can't shop the booth will now be able to buy goods only available on the web. To my booth customers... you will be able to buy the web exclusives, but you need to make arrangements to pick them up at the booth or have them shipped to you. So , with that being said I have posted both Spring booth pics and some Web Exclusives :-)

Wow, $2 -3 per yard for fabric?? I have some of those same fabrics and paid 10.00 a yard! Yikes, you made out like a bandit. They aren't even out of style yet~ Woo hoo for you. Love the pewter as well, we are kindred pewter spirits!

ReplyDeleteWow, a thrift store in Amish country? Now that would be awesome to go to. That's all I would think about during the day. Your metal bucket is really neat. Good luck with all the rearranging and selling. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed that you always find fabric at the thrift store! I have only found some a couple of times around here! But, we do have awesome thrift stores here for many other cool things. Gotta "Love" thrift stores!
