Last week I made my first trip to the annual Salvation Army Fabric Fair. I arrived (sans kids) a half hour early to find 50 or more people already in front of me in line! With lawnchairs! And coffee! These women were serious. Happily, I found Jessie's sweet Mama in line who held my hand during the scary parts. ;) I was completely overwhelmed by all the fabrc, notions, patterns, and PEOPLE! Somehow, amidst all the stimulation, I found a few good things at the fabulous price of 50 cents a pound. Gotta love that. Here's the loot:
The four on the far left are real vintage feedsacks. So fun! And see that retro Rageddy Ann and Andy? Yards of it. Um yeah...no idea why I picked that up.
I love pink and red right now. The one on the far right is so cool--it's pink christmas themed--it looks vintage, but I can't tell. Love it anyway--all 4 yards of it.
Smaller pieces of randomness. I think I had some pants from that blue, green and white whale print in the 80's. Scary.
And the less vintage, but more practical pile. Lots of corduroy, flannel, and plaids for pants.
Books and patterns. The felt projects on top look fun. And Amy--look at that pretty cover to the American Quilts book from 1947!
And the notions. Ric Rac, anyone?
My favorites--the embroidered ribbon.
Okay, now I just have to make room for all this stuff. Ha!
