Thrift Shop Finds
Amelie's finds above!
This week I went to the op-shop with one item to buy - pink wool - which they always have and I never need...but once there I found a great fabric haul - something my local op-shop NEVER has...it was like a mirage...I couldn't believe it!
A package of pre-cut squares for $1...I was going to leave it but I saw the little strawberry square and I had to get it!
A pack of new Man Hankies for the husband and a pack of Ladies ones for me ($1 each)...in the ladies ones there are some beautiful hand embroidered ones - all brand new!
6 balls of black wool - the most expensive at $10 - but it is worth it as I always need black wool - and 2 balls of pink wool - the purpose of my hunt!
Meters of awesome fabric - $1 a meter (or two) - including red velvet and black cord!
The rest of the photos below are from one big packaged lot that was $3.50:
Hand embroidered napkins
A Cath Kidson Heart
Lots of plain coloured fabric
Hand embroidered (and new) place mats, doilies and napkins - simply beautiful!
Below are the rejects from the pack which I will be giving back:
A lot more than I was expecting but it was fantastic!
Now I have a huge stash for future projects!
