    Restored Vintage Scrapbook Album from the 1890’s

    September 29, 2019 /

    I love to go to flea markets and thrift stores. A few months ago I stumbled on the most beautiful scrapbook from the 1890’s. The patent on the back of the scrapbook is dated March 1876 as seen in the photo below. The images that were glued to the pages provided a glimpse into the past. There were hand written dates on many of the images. I could just imagine the young woman cutting and pasting her favorite things. I was beyond excited and knew I had to purchase it. Once I got it home, the question was, what do I do with this? I pondered this question for quite…

    Vintage 1940’s evening dress – re purposed

    August 9, 2019 /

    I have to admit, I have a hard time passing up a Goodwill sale. In my area, they happen every other Saturday. It seems that every time I make it to one of these sales, I find something (or a lot of somethings) to be thrilled about. I did have a focus for this goodwill excursion: to find laces and trim for a journal I am making. You really can get a lot for the money looking at clothing to use in your projects rather than going to the craft store. Agreeably, it may be difficult if you are looking for something specific I agree, that is why I will…
