Vintage Goodies

I'm on the look out for vintage sheets for a vintage sheet swap (sorry sign ups are closed) I am taking part in.  If I know you and see you would you be on the look out too?  Colored backgrounds are highly sought after and my deadline to mail is May 12th.

I found this strawberry sheet earlier in the week (full size for $1.99).


Tonight, I ran to another near by thrift store and didn't find any sheets but took a quick glance down the sewing/craft aisle.  There were two bags of notions for $0.90 each and I decided to go for it even though I couldn't exactly tell what was in the bags.  I got home and opened them and it was like Christmas!
Left Column: A zipper, tape measure, pink blanket binding, white hem facing, lavender elastic.
Middle Column: Eyelet trim; 3 brown, 1 orange, 1yellow bias tapes; 4 yellow, 1 red, 1 green and 1 light blue rick rack packs.
Right Column: 1 large navy button, 5 blue buttons, 5 pearl buttons, pearl snap fasteners with attaching tool*, more yellow rick rack, white, green and blue seam bindings, and dark blue bias hem facing.

Will I use all these things?  Probably not.  I don't even know what they are all for...
Was it worth the $1.80? oh yea!

* My husband was even excited about this because he loves pearl button shirts.  Not that I know how to make shirts...

  1. Ah, I love that fabric! We had a blanket growing up with that same print! Brings back many good memories.

  2. your purchase reminds me of a box I bought many years ago of bias tape and rickrack at a yard sale. I also felt like I was getting a treasure and I still have some of it waiting for the right "moment" to be used!! You did GOOD!!
