Things that come home... and stay

Hi Everyone,
Mr FV&C has been doing a factory estate this weekend and has got lots of great stuff which will go to his stall at Glen Waverley, but luckily he came home with a gift for me!
An original train places roll about a billion feet long! 
And The lovely Andrea sent me a photo of Miss Grace and I at the Tea Party on Saturday at the Vintage emporium in our 1950s finery.

Estate lace,Linen and oven mitts

Hi Everyone,
I have finished cleaning most of the estate clothing and lace and decided to do a spot of sewing to see what  happened, and it all turned out well ! here's the photos
These are Lacy overalls and look great on

Pretty pocket detail

tablecloth jacket

back detail
 These both look really good on but I didn't have a model handy and Miss Grace and Uncle Tom did not fit the bill !
I found some pretty patchwork pieces on another stall at The Vintage Shed and made some cute oven mitts.
Most of these will be at The Vintage shed on Thursday as well as some beautiful repaired washed and ironed vintage clothing.
On Friday I will be back at The Glen Waverley Bazaar with some new and interesting things as well as a few stall changes ,so stay tuned.
                                                       Hope you like Cheers Lyn
