Fathers Day Treasures
This was my splurge!
I love this skirt from around 1890.
The print is charming and I like the way the hem was
backed with sweet little fabric.
I was so happy to find the black vintage seam binding tape,
since I am running low on this color.
The thimbles are brass and of course I like
the red band on them.
Keys are always a nice addition to my ever growing collection.
Now this is fun!
This must have been a towel at one time, that someone
cleverly made into a hairstyling cape.
The little embroidered hairpins give it away.
These adorable pictures tucked at my heartstrings!
Maybe I will copy them as hangtags for my dolls.
I have been searching for a little metal stool
for one of my topiaries.
This one fits the bill perfectly.
I love this little carved wooden piece.
Whatever this is meant to be, I don't know.
It is all hand carved and about 6" tall with a hole
at the top.
I think it is a candle holder.
Whatever it is, I am using it to make a wonderful MAKE-DO.
I hope you enjoyed my treasures.
God bless,
Evi

Evie the vintage skirt fabric is wonderful. Do you only collect vintage bias? I have a box full that I would like to sell to a crafter. Have a great weekend. HUGS MARY
