Thrift Share Monday :)

Small quilted wall hanging - doll blanket, perhaps

There's a hospice thrift shop in town that moved to a much, much larger location, and has made their prices much, much bigger. So a store that I used to go in weekly is now only a store I go in maybe once a month. This month, I was in luck! I got two of these quilted pieces. They're beautiful. I don't know what someone would do with them, but I hope they find a loving home.

Vera scarf - this makes me think of a square dancing group :)

This is one of two vintage Vera scarves I found. This one is a lighter fabric, cotton maybe, but the other one was from the 1940s and silk. It had a huge stain in one corner, looked like coffee, and I thought I could wash it out. Oops. The scarf was like thick paper, and tore [insert Megan railing to the heavens].

Vintage 1978 Columbia Minerva Crewel Pillow Kit - "Primrose Garland"

This is such a beautiful kit, and it's complete. This past week, I finally sold a Paragon kit that had been listed for quite a long time on eBay. I could only find one other identical kit listed anywhere online, so I listed mine for 40% less, but even with that, it took a long time. I'm always trying to walk that fine line between getting a higher price, and moving inventory.

Vintage Diane Von Furstenburg jumpsuit

I found this DVF jumpsuit at a Salvation Army a few days earlier in the week, but needed to wash it, so it got posted with this other stuff. I honestly do not know how people make these look so freakin' cute. I am not one of those people. I cannot rock a jumpsuit. Oh dear lord. With shoulder pads?! Epic fail.
