| I had been visiting this dress for some time, see pics in previous posts, and it finally came home to live with me a few weeks ago! John is planning to hang a rod in the stairwell so that I can hang my vintage dress collection, three dress to date, there. Labels: Cream, Dress, Ecru, Ivory, Off, Vintage, Wedding, White |

| Today's Yard Sale Score |
| Friday, May 29, 2009 |
 There were gobs of bits of vintage lace, doilies, linen fabrics etc., all carefully folded INSIDE of tacky polyester fabrics.  This is just a hint of what I picked up, all at one sale, for fifteen dollars. The only downside is I'm going to have to put this stuff in a closet with my ozone machine - it smells like dryer sheets to which I'm very allergic. Most of the items like the millenary pieces are very fragile, still very usable for collage, and would probably not survive being washed.  This woman was an ace garage sale preparer!!! Very sly if you ask me, as I was taking items out of the bags all sorts of treasures started to appear. It's like she knew that these would be chosen ONLY by the right person. As I was looking around for more goodies, I had just grabbed a bag of millenary supplies, she asked me if I had looked at the other bags of fabric on the far table simply stating that everyone had passed them by. I took one peek and grinned from ear to ear and each bag was a mere 50 cents! Mother Lode!!! Labels: Find, Finds, Garage, Lace, Millenary, Sale, Smell, Supplies, Tatted, Trim |
