Whatnot garland...
Which I will add is a very important part of the tutorial
and you will find all the details HERE...
I realized that I needed a few more
doilies to add to the charm...
Call it what you may but I had a immediate need tograb my purse, jump in the car
and head straight to the op shop...
While wandering aimlessly around the shop
I thought that the pickings were very slim...
very slim indeed ,not a doily in sight...
and pondered the thought that I must have been wrong
and maybe I just needed to have a few minutes away
from my sewing to get perspective
or something like that...
As I reached the counter to pay for my very unexciting shirt find...
There it was!!!
Hiding behind the counter with a price tag on it...I held my breath for a second and let out the ever so faintest...
"Is that for sale"
The lady took a look and said..."I think it must be, it has a price tag on it...
I think it has been out the back for,
well as long as I can remember, it does seem strange that
suddenly they are getting rid of it"
My response..."I'll take it"
I popped it in the car and ended that sentence with a
"THANK YOU"
Loving The Vintage...
Your garland is ever so lovely! Your op shop find is utterly amazing! and I just took a peek at your apron wrap from dottie angel, what a stunning picture you make in it.
