As my family knows I love thrifting, and this week shopping was especially good. We are downsizing and even though what I buy I will end up packing and moving once we sell the house…………………I just love a bargain.
My first find was this whole cloth vintage beauty. Double bed size, hand tied with a wool blanket batting. The knots are very tiny, perfectly clipped threads.
There is a small tear at one end which I am hoping to sweet talk my friend Win into mending. I am not a fabric expert, I am basing my opinion on the colours – orange, green, yellow and blue. If you can identify the print please leave a comment.
At first glance I thought these were dolphin earrings. I really need to start wearing glasses. When I got home and opened the plastic bag which they were in, I was very pleased to find a jewellers mark on the ring on the left. Can you say 14kt.
Always on the lookout for new cloth napkins, I was excited to find his set of four Vera Bradley `Bali Blues` with tags still attached. These will be used for the fabric and not as napkins.
Care to guess how much this week`s thrifting cost me?
The total was $5.15 cents before taxes. The most expensive item? The quilt, at a whopping $1.95.
Quilt fabric is definitely 70′s.
That`s what I am thinking too, reminded me of the colours I wore on you back then.
