So the other day my cousin calls me up:
Susie: Hey Car, I just cleaned out a bunch of things from my closet and I wanted to know if you wanted any of it. Even if you just want some of it for fabric and then donate the rest, that's fine. I just thought you might get some more use out of it than if I just gave it away.
Me: Sure, that sounds cool, thanks, Susie.
Susie: I also have some ribbons and buttons and things that I am getting rid of, would you like to see those as well? I know that you are sewing and I thought you might use them.
Me: Buttons?! Heck yeah, I'll take your buttons!
Susie: Okay, I'll bring them over.
Check out the awesome vintage stash that she brought over for me!

| How awesome, right? |
 |
| From a bread company. |
 |
| Wait for it...... |
 |
| That's right, it is a pack of needles!!! Wouldn't that be awesome if bread companies still did this? |
 |
| Cute little buttons. |
 |
| One of these hit paraders is from 1957, the other 1955! |
 |
| The ads are awesome! |
 |
| But this ad really caught my eye! |
 |
| Thank GOODNESS for Tampax. Otherwise, how would I feel poised and dainty at that time of the month? |
 |
| Some pretty pink lacey trim. |
 |
| The most beautiful royal blue seam binding. I guess I'll need to learn how to use seam binding now! |
I really can't wait to start to use all this!
{
Why is this stuck in my head?}
Wow those are pretty great! So great of your cousin to give them to you!
ReplyDeleteI know! She's such a thoughtful and fun cousin.
DeleteI wish I had a cousin like that. Totes jealous!
ReplyDeleteShe's awesome! She brought over a second bag of buttons more recently, and she gave me some vintage ivory buttons (not that I agree with the ivory trade even in the smallest amount), they are so beautiful, I don't know what I will put them on.
DeleteHaha if only bread still had giveaways... And I love that pink lace !
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty in real life. I just haven't figured out what to do with it yet. I don't really wear much pink. Thoughts?
