Thifty find and sewing

It was so hot outside this week,that I was fiddling around amusing 

myself inside.

I had some very nice soft dusky pink silk in my stash

and a lovely cream lacy doily 

So what to make, I just needed more cushions ( I don't think)

But the fabric just shouted cushion. So cushion it was

I added a nice blingy brooch and I love it.

This is a picture from a lovely book I have

It has so many projects to make

and lovely pics of lace,like the one below. I could

browse through it for hours.

This is a nightdress case I made from the book.

I used up a scrap of white sheeting and embroidered it

I haven't been thrifting for a while,I had decided to use and enjoy 

what I have instead and save

Today though it became a little cooler

We decided to go for a much needed walk in the cooler air.

Of cause you can't walk past our local second hand shop

without a peak inside,we we can't anyway

This is what we  found all mixed up in a box of old cutlery for 20cents a piece

We managed to make up two complete sets plus some jam and tea spoons

and a little ladle $3 the lot and they are silver plated.

I think I enjoy shopping in this shop when I haven't been for a while

I could have spent more, but I had decided to restrain myself this year. :)
