Super Vintage

Not too long ago I was at an estate sale digging deep

in a pile of linens on a table.

After selecting several pieces,

(she was charging way too much),

I discovered a box under the table

stuffed with old lace and pieces of

vintage dresses. I asked the gal if she would

take $20 for the whole box thinking she

would say no and go up from there.

She said if it is not gone by the end of

the day, come back and I could have it for $20!

So I pushed it way back again

under the table...haha!

At the end of the day I stopped back in and

the box was mine!

 

The other day I took the lace off the

remains of a tattered vintage dress,

found in that box,

and sewed them on the ends of a piece

of linen to form a tube style pillow slip.

I encased the insert beforehand with

linen as well.

Then I finished the middle off with

more vintage lace and old, old

French buttons.

It turned out so beautiful.

I have it for sale in my shop on Etsy, 

secretly hoping maybe it won't sell!

I'm going to head on over to White Wednesday

at Faded Charm to see what others are

up to!
