I also found 2 old silver cups that were given as trophy's in 1982 ($1 each), which I bought for master 6 who loves to polish things.

I am going to paint the timber of the coffee table black, and use it in the office.

My thrift shopping out fit today was a made-by-me simple elastic waist skirt, thrift top an a chiffon scarf - modelled by my new friend (who really needs a name I think, if anyone knows of a good one).

And look what came in the post last night!

Original 1950s patterns, in my size, all the way from Canada, via Etsy. I think I may start with the dress on the left, given it is getting into summer here.  It’s a one piece dress with a detachable collar, which should be interesting.  Aren’t the suits gorgeous though!? Mind you, I really should go on work on the other dress I started a few weeks ago!

Enjoy a little bit of vintage/sewing in your day xx
