The fabric shop in town is closing down
so I bought a few bargain goodies -
the music score stamp was reduced by ten pounds !
I love the floral fabric &
already had a scrap of the sprigged one in a green colourway.
I bought some new thread as a friend is going to teach me
how to use mum's old Singer sewing machine
( haven't touched one since school needlework lessons ! )
The little Santas look quite vintage &
the stencil stickers pretty
Then I went to the art shop
& bought some
GOLD LEAF !!!
FAB.
I might be using some of these bits' bobs
in Carole's tutorial
( see previous post )
which I'm really looking forward to

Lovely haul, Penny. Looking forward to seeing what you get to do with them, xx

It's so sad to see shops closing down, but it's a great place to be to pick up some great bargains!! My daughter and I once bought some the the shop furniture really cheap when a florist was closing!
ReplyDeleteExciting stuff! I love the music score sheet too! So cool! Be keen to see what you accomplish! xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm already loving your blog and I just "met" you through kiwicarole's class! Love the sheet music fabric and the little santas. Are those square doilies in the background? I've never seen fabric? paper? in such a form.
ReplyDeleteLove your swaps, too.
Hi Jan from Wyoming - I can't get to your Blog !
ReplyDeleteThe music is a lovely printing stamp & the lace paper -stencils for greetings cards I suppose - I shall cut them up into smaller pieces. I may try to use them as Stencils but they are delicate - I just liked that they look like lace.
Nice to meet you - enjoy the class !
So NOW you can join in my purple charm thingy.....PLEASE! xxx
