I can't believe that I almost forgot to tell you all about my last church sale of this year and the treasures I found there. I have had these photos waiting to be shared since weeks now and I am glad I remembered. I had such a good time and also was so very lucky to find quite a few nice pieces. This particular church sale only comes twice a year and I make sure that I am there bright and early.
... with so much detail!
... all embroidered so neatly.
I love vintage linen so much ~ I can't stop buying it!
A delicate vintage silk hankie hand embroidered so beautify.
Little white baby dresses ~ you can never have too many of these.
... with the fine gold detail.
... lots and lots of sparkles!
... I think it looks like a snowflake from Heaven!
I am glad that it was the last church sale for this year that I am going to visit. Looking at my studio I really need to slow down a little for sure in the future but I am very happy that I have some lovely treasures to work with in the cold winter months that will be here soon.
... I would just like to tell all of you lovely bloggers out there that might become affected by the hurricane that is heading for the east coast of the US that I hope it won't be too bad. We here in south-western Ontario have been warned that we could possibly also be hit by the effects too with very high winds and heavy rain. I just hope it won't be too intense. I always worry about my big tree when the winds are bad ~ I would hate for it to be lost or to damage a neighbours home.
I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I would love for you to stop by some time again here at Todolwen.
I adore all those pieces too - especially the babies dresses and fine linen and lace pieces. We just never come across such beauties here unfortunately, but I found a few lovely pieces at a Brocante when I was in France a couple of months ago!
I will look forward to see what you do with these treasures.
I hope you are all OK with this awful storm, it's on our news all the time here.
Thinking of you all and sending prayers taht you will all be safe.
OK Karen, I'm drooling! What beautiful finds!
I too pray for the protection of those being effected by Sandy. So many bloggers are going to be effected by this storm.
OH lovely post. I love these kind of sales. So many "Little Treasures" to have fun with. Things were so delicate, pretty and treasured back then. I hope you'll be safe from the weather, Iowa may have much needed rain but no real dangers. Have a wonderful week and thanks for the lovely post.
What wonderful treasures, I'm green with envy.!
The linens.. the baby dresses.. and oh my the lovely jewelry pieces.
