Happy Monday!
Hope that your weekend was most lovely! It was a busy weekend of sewing and working on trying to get all my new items finished. I am almost done! ;)
Last month I went to an estate sale and came home with these small treasures, which sometime are always the best to bring home! This sale had photos to show what was there before, so when I saw the pot holders and tin molds, I knew I had to try to get them, and I did! I look forward to recreating these rose pot holders!
In the garage was an old chest and hidden deep within were these pretty floral fabrics! There are just scrap pieces left over from her sewing projects, but oh so sweet they are! The one with the tiny pin dots was used for a skirt she made that I saw in the closet. It was so cute, but way to pricey for my budget, so I am happy to have come across the scraps. I have already soaked and cleaned them up, and they are ready to be used in something pretty!
And, there was a box full of crocheted hangers, not all in the greatest condition, so I snagged these three!
I love the pretty colors and those sweet flowers!! I have been wanting to try making some with crochet thread, so these are perfect inspiration!
Along with those cute Christmas mice, I came across these goodies! Delicate lace, bells, flower for gifts, and a couple Christmas cookie cutters! Overall it was a good sale and I look forward to hitting the next one!
Cuteness is coming!! It will be a busy next couple days to get everything done and in my shoppe! So, if I get a little quite visiting, you know why! ;) Hope that you are enjoying some beautiful weather and crafty goodness!!
Wishing you a lovely and creative week!

Happy Monday to you, too! That pin dot fabric just IS the sweetest, isn't it? I know you'll create something beautiful with it! The clothes hangers are so pretty, too. I've made them with regular yarn but not crochet thread. These look especially pretty. It is so fun to find a great sale, I hope you get to go to more! The embroidered dog you did is so precious. Good luck with your shop!!! Love, Twyla
