Bag of Goodies

Just a quick post this morning because I have DUTIES to attend. Like sorting through this bag of goodies I just brought home from a rummage sale. Not really sure what all is in here, but I know at least one feedsack. The bag is totally stuffed with fabric except for the red-handled kitchen utensils and that box of greeting cards with Pennsylvania Dutch sayings. Some very nice large yardage, but also a lot of remnants.. I'll have to go through and test each one to see if it is a blend..(do you all know how to do that with a flame?).. Then I'll need to mark everything before deciding where to put it! So I better grab a sandwich and start playing get to work. Can't wait to open that baggie that looks like it has a double wedding ring started...
And oh. I know I keep saying this is the brightest my burning bush is going to get.. but I think this time it's really true. Maybe it just looks prettier now that the trees and ornamental grass behind it has turned colors too..



Hope you are all having a creative day. I know I missed Vintage Thingies Thursday this week.. but I'm pretty sure some of the stuff in my bag fits the category. :-)

Hi the bag looks realy exciting. Hmm to bad you had not time to explore the yummis. But I guess it will be the first on your list when you are back in the game...

Eileen! That bag looks so amazing. How can you control yourself from not diving in. Lovely lovely lovely things. I'm happy for you that you found all of them and will give them such a good loving home. You know how to value things. Sandi at A Legacy of Stitches talked to me the other day about burning fabrics. I've not done that. But who cares if it is a lovely print!!!!

Looks like you had a successful morning!!! I would have immediately come home and dumped the contents on the floor and started playing. What do you mean about burning fabric?

Superb red- my fav shade of red! I don't like orange-reds as they make my eyes tired. LOL I'm sounding like an old woman.

What an exciting goodie bag! Love that Dutch fabric. In the UK the narrow width would mean that it was a vintage one made on a smaller less commercial loom than they use now.

Oh.my.word. What an enviable score that bag is! I do hope you will give me a peek at all of them. :-)
