I haven't taken photographs of EVERYTHING as I really didn't want to bore you all. I brought a large box full of buttons. 15 Zips. some old patterns (most never used) several sewing books. lace, beads, buckles, pop studs, brooches. 
I also brought a large pile of old fabrics, some table clothes, some bed spreads and others just old cuts that have never even been used.

I Love that this mouse is doing the patchwork. If you look really closely the mouse also has a little tiny needle and thread to help her do this. I adore the way the tail curls up around her body.
So tell me do you go charity shopping / thrift shop shopping??? What is the best find you have found???
i like you little mouse, it is so you.

thanks, shame your anoymous though!!
ReplyDeleteAww that mouse is so sweet and what a lot of finds you had :-o
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your mouse - it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe thrift shops around here are awful, full of nasty stuff. My best find was from a local antiques market, that has now closed down, a tatty old silk upholstered chair that lives in my bedroom, and I love, even though it really needs reupholstering.
In reply to your question about shaukat - yes, I have bought quite a bit from them, it's got an amazing selection of fabrics. The prices don't include VAT, so bear that in mind, and the postage is about £5. Things take a few days to arrive, but it's a great shop.
