Saturday visit with new friends...

I was introduced to Liz at the last Shepton Flea market we attended. We have emailed each other since and found we both have a love of not only vintage fabrics but also vintage clothing. As Liz was coming near my area on her way to a vintage clothing fair, she stopped by this Saturday with her friend Bronia ( apologies for the spelling which I am sure I have got quite wrong!) . What a great visit it was. Liz brought some lovely fabrics for me to look through along with some other pretty things I spotted in a photo from her textile sale. We ended up making a trade which was perfect for me as I was in need of fabric and she "fell for" a vintage robe of mine.

My little girl Georgia set out a plate of biscuits ( cookies) for us and although Liz and Bronia managed to eat some I'm pretty sure George ate most of them!

I really enjoyed looking through Liz's new book which was a reproduction of a 1950's clothing catalogue and they had a drool over the gorgeous clothing in my 1940 Ward's catalogue. We all were thinking the same thing, "if only I could go back in time and buy everything!"



We then ventured off to my bedroom where I have a secret stash of vintage clothing hiding in containers under my bed. How wonderful it was to pull them all out and go through them with these vintage loving girls! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and I loved seeing Liz grab my vintage "chenille" coat and try it on, checking it out in the mirror! It is always nice to see others appreciate the beauty and quality of vintage! I wish I would have got a pic of Liz in that coat, her face was a picture!

I had a super visit with them and cant wait to see them both again! Here we are as they were just leaving. From left to right is: Liz, me, Bronia and little georgia in front. Oh yeah, thats my dog, Jet, suspiciously looking like he was about to lift his leg.
