Flea Market Finds

Well this week I think was the most successful thrifting experience in my life thus far.  I just kept finding amazing things.  There's no real story to go along with these pictures.  So I'll just show you all the pictures and you can drool :)

Fabric
Vintage pillowcases
More pillowcases
Vintage kids clothes patterns
More patterns...
And more again.

Delicious wool

Someone cleared out their button collection..,
Check out the one in the top right corner... It's adorable.
A closeup.
Love these buttons!
Love these vintage random buttons!
Not sure how I'm going to use this gorgeous trim yet but I'm sure I'll find something!
Some amazingly talented granny out there threw out her collection of doiley's.  How cute are all these little ones!! That's not even all of them!!
Some of the big ones made by the same lady.
And I stocked up on some of the basic colours.

 So as you can see I was rather successful.  Finding new homes for all these goodies was interesting.  I can't wait to start creating with it all!

Now don't forget my Auctions end tomorrow night at midnight.

Go here, here and here to check them out and make last minute bids!

Does this mean you have enough doilies to make another doilie runner? :0)

I need to find a new op shop. My local one went under in the flood... And I miss my op-shop fabric shopping.

Wow that's quite a stash there, I very rarely find much here when I go op shopping. Love the doilies.
