I'm a sucker for vintage trims, I've been lucky over the years to thrift some amazing trims, but most of those finds sit patiently for me to find a use for them. This weekend-
Fabrica-brac is on in Auckland and I've got a stall, some of those vintage trims I've been saving up will hopefully be off to new homes! But not the cross stitch trim in the top pic, I found it in a local church thrift store, two metres and a $0.40c price tag! It's quite beautiful, more so than the pic suggests. It's been lovingly unpicked from some other project, leaving behind some of the old threads, I love it! I'm thinking of putting it on a top.
Linking up again with Max -
the op shop show off!
beautiful trims Louana - wish I could get to fabric-a-brac :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have some great Op shop finds up your way. Hope your stall goes well this weekend, some local girls are going up to Auckland so I will tell them about it :-) Julie
oh yes I would use it as a waistband in a dress - it is beautiful!
