Yesterday I went shopping with my sister-in-law, Barbara and daughter, Marie. We all had different interests in the antique stores. Barb was on the lookout for jewelry and could spot a good buy in a minute. Marie liked the kitchen stuff and anything unique and artistic. I am always on the lookout for the fiber arts, depression glass and vintage sewing tools, and of course, aprons. I found some of these yesterday. There is a picture of a beautiful lace jacket I found that was too good to resist, especially at under $25. And it fits and is wearable. I will have to so a little mending and reinforcing of some of the seams, but it is so unique! It would take hours to sew all that braiding together to make something like this. I just had to get it. There is a picture of it modeled on my wooden form.
I also found a book of apron patterns. There are some designs I want to try out. As I said, aprons are a great place to try out interesting designs. And those little "camp napkins" would be good for pockets or blocks in a quilt.
Barbara found a great bracelet and a ring and Marie found a cup carved from buffalo horn. So, we were very happy shoppers as we left for home with our treasures.
