Lots of Washing,repairs and cleaning

Hi everyone,
 Mr FV&C Spent two days away this week in the country at a deceased estate where he picked up a swag of goodies for his stall and some vintage and lacy lovelies for me.
Great you say ,so did I initially I was really excited imagining all sorts of pristine 1950s and Victorian clothing ready for me to pass on to those who will love it !
Yes they are lovely but the have all been stored in a barn so they were all dirty smelly and in need of repair! so I will be spending the next week doing all of the above.
Such is the life I lead.

Nappysan is my best friend!

But wait there's more!

 The good news is there is some really beautiful pieces and i will photograph them after they are washed and ironed.and will be for sale in the next week at the vintage shed and glen Waverley bazaar.

 In a more pleasant note Miss Grace and I went to see Dora and Bob at our local shopping centre.

A good time was had by all Particularly Miss Grace. Cheers Lyn
