A few weeks ago, hubby, percy and I walked to a local school fete. It was a small one, but it is up there for one of my favourites. We bought amazing homemade brownies and biscuits, fresh produce from a families garden, mum got her car washed and I scored two bags of AMAZING vintage fabric all for $2. I really don't need it, but it was either me or the tip! Actually, I do need it!!! We ended up sending it home with my mum as I didnt want to walk home with all our shopping. Didn't expect to find such treasure. Have a look at these vintage prints..
Im just so excited about the things I can make with this fabric. Will also keep some for gifts, and maybe make bundles to sell..there is alot!
Hope you are having a good day. I am. I had a lovely picnic with
Mezz and kids today, ate our yummy food and gazed at trees!
I made a fruit salad, cheese shortbread and choc chip biscuits and packed the essentials!
Thanks for reading,
Taz

ReplyDeleteThankyou thankyou, im sure you can imagine the excitment I had finding it!
DeleteI am insanely envious! This is the kind of thing I spend a fortune buying on Etsy!! We just don't get school fêtes like that around here... wow... envious... incredibly envious! So anyway, if you put together some bundles for sale let me know ;)
ReplyDeleteI also can't wait to see what you make!
I definatly need to sell bundles of my fabric, I have so much! Im not entirely sure what I will make ith some of this stash, but will share it once I have! xx
Deleteoooommg I am with Suki, insanely envious! I LOVE LOVE the 2nd bundle you pictured in particular. I love school fairs (thats a fete right?) and I thank you on behalf of us all, for rescuing these from landfill
ReplyDeleteYes a fair is a fete, I prefer the word fair actually. I would have been so sad seeing these get dumped! Thanks for commenting!
DeleteEssentials of course including a stylish salt and pepper set! Amazing bag of proper vintage fabric-the fifties style one at top is my total fave, what are your plans for it i wonder?
ReplyDeleteYes I love the top one too, definatly a kitcheny one, might need to somehow make it for the kitchen.
DeleteUmm, I wish I went to that school!!! Those kiddies must have the coolest parents and grandparents. :) And that retro orange and brown thermos would hold the yummiest Milos! I love that this stuff is still being USED not just sitting on a shelf looking pretty.
ReplyDeleteI know! I wanted to meet the lady (i assuming its a lady) who dumped that fabric, and say a million thankyou's!
DeleteWow! That is so awesome. Total envy here.
ReplyDeleteoh i could cry at how jealous i am! is that wrong? xxxx
