Oh So Sweet...
Heaven, I'm in heaven...
Feast your eyes on the Catch of the Day!
I found myself at an estate sale today. Lots of knick knacks and the biggest collection of tupperware I have ever seen in my life. No joke ~ many cabinets chock full, the woman must have been selling it. Also Avon bottles, never seeing them before and not knowing anything about them, I passed them up. Funny thing is I saw them at another sale today as well.
There are so many things that are collectible, I happen to be drawn to what I love ~ fabrics and sewing notions. You can just imagine how I felt when I happened to find this little treasure box!
Vintage rick rack as well as lots of old bias tape & seam binding! I googled Betsy Ross Rick Rack and found that it was made in the 1940's-50's. Don't bother running over to my vintage shop to look for it, some treasures are meant to be kept. They are sitting in a Shwayder Brothers Samsonite which I was excited to find and will be selling!
I would like to share a little of my booty though, so how about a little giveaway? Leave a comment on this post about anything you'd like! For an extra chance go on over to my vintage shop Corr Nucopia, have a peek around then come back and tell me what grabbed your eye.
Don't forget that although I have sold several of those vintage embroidery kits, there are still some left!
Drawing will end Wednesday, July 1st!
That rick rack is fantastic! How do you find so many treasures!
