Busy getting ready for various fairs, Tracey has been making some beautiful patchwork cushion covers from scraps of 1940’s fabric. Thought I would share a few pics…

The Vintage Gods must for once be on our side… after an amazing week of finding nice stuff last week our good luck seems to be continuing.. Here’s some of our favourite finds of the last few days..

Couple of gorgeous floral eiderdowns.. (we found three but one needs a clean)

An amazing Native American beaded bag c1860

Loads of nice fabric which our cushion elf soon set to work on!

The perfect ‘Twitter’ Cushion

Traceys felt flowers are decorating everything…

Got this 1920’s beaded dress last week, the condition is amazing for its age..

Got this stunning 1940s dress at a car boot sale!!

Been Busy!

Faded Splendour — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:24:28 +0000

Have been really busy for the past week… summer in full swing with loads of stuff to do and people to see..

We’ve been finding the most amazing stuff seem to be on a real roll at the moment….clothing, textiles, books etc and had no time to write about any of it… but hopefully will make time this week

I arrived home earlier today and Tracey had displayed some of her sewing finds in an ideal photo oppurtunity.
