shoppe update…

my aunte and cousin both sent some goodies my way this week. vintage fabrics, buttons, patterns, old aprons, the list does go on, so I’ll spare you.

but I was able to use some of the loveliness that was given to me.
I was also able to stretch a half yard of precious “poppy” print fabric into a 9 piece Cocktail Set.

a patchwork bar towel, four reversible patchwork/leatherette coasters and four cocktail napkins.

I thought I would weep when the last of the fabric had been used.
(I know! I always weep when I must sacrifice “pretty” things for my craft.)
I used every single last scrap. the last little 2″ X 5″ scrap was made into a “scrap”ing card. (my take on a greeting card.) I’ll post a photo of that sometime soon.

now, for the crochet.
the buttons my family sent me were just crying out to be used, so I made up another pair of gauntlets and sewed on these petite purple buttons
