Friday Finds

Found today: The path towards finding the Will to Live. Always a good start.

Found a while ago but sharing now:

Ella, almost two, goes Vintage Corporate

I clearly remember having this exact same dress when I was little. I know there is a photo of me in it somewheres, but I dont have it. I found this in an op shop when Ella was still a wee baby, and you can only imagine the extent of my Sqeeee-age when I saw it on the rack for $4.  Lordy. Wouldn't it be SO AWESOME if this were actually my old dress??? 

Now if only I had the red faux patent leather handbag from my childhood to go with it. 


P.S. Giveaway is coming, fret not!  I haven't been able to decide what to have for dinner this week, let alone which of my creations to give away.

Friday Finds

Another week, another collection of treasures from the op-shops.  This week, my local had a whole basket of awesome vintage sewing patterns out for 25c each.  It was pure heaven.

Have a closer look at the little girl on the top one. How adorable is that jumpsuit?

This is the piece de resistance really.  Check out the legs! 

Did the illustrator never see a real woman before?

I love Paua shell.  What should I use this for?

All these beauties were 20c each! I'm going to turn them into pincushions. Yes! Radness!

There was also much in the way of clothing for me and some fabric for making clothes for the shop.  And a totes awesome tablecloth which I plan on turning into a skirt for myself.  That picture will have to wait until said project is on the go.  Then you will swoon with delight at how totally awesome it is.  You will. You'll see.
