So I was driving home today through the "retirement" section of town (after having just scored a 3 dollar ironing board at Salvation Army) and happened to pass a garage sell being hosted by two somewhat cranky and kind of cute little old ladies. My little fish was up for the adventure, so we stopped. I am so happy I did......just look at this vintage fabric! A whole box full for just cheap enough to make me get it without regrets. Everything from tiny scraps to yardage...even a half started project.
They had some beautiful vintage glass buttons too - but I just couldn't justify a dollar per button for all of them and I couldn't decide which ones to take and which ones to leave - so I decided to stick with only the fabric. Although they claimed to have a stash of vintage patterns somewhere - if they could only remember where....since their memories are failing (their words not mine)......but they did tell me which pieces of fabric came from dresses they had when they were little......it was sweet and a little sad to be taking it away. I promised to stop back tomorrow to see if they remembered where the patterns were.....I am keeping my fingers crossed that they do find them. Do you think it would be too pushy to ask to dig through their garage to find them?? Yah, I thought so too.....
