More treasures

This is the pile of goodies from the consignment shop yesterday...$15! I had lots of fun.

 This was a box of old collars with ribbons and buttons etc...very cute.

 A box of recipes...

 I'm keeping this book for you Trudes and Tom when you get here...it has photos of before the war and then after etc..pretty interesting.

 Really cute old advertising ephemera..

 and vintage paper xmas stuff..

 This apple is about 40cm high and wooden for on the kitchen wall.

 And some really old music..

 Oh and this: I think it might be old rego plates...

New quilt happening..

 This was the dining table last week...work in progress so table can't be used..sorry! Until we have guests and then I need to pack it all up AND vaccuum..poop. anyway..

 this is an old quilt I found at the op shop. It looks really good in this photo but its not as bright in real life..and the fabrics were very machine madeish...not nice to feel...but the back is so pretty (pics below) and I wanted those bits for my new quilt..have to take some photos and put them on here soon..

 ..both these fabrics were on the back.

New Painting in Progress

 This is my biggish painting..its 4feet by 3feet...I really like the size and actually...would like to go bigger next time..not sure how I would get it home though..maybe 2 this size together?

 Some of the hands are still on paper and some are already transferred onto the painting. You can tell the difference by the way some are much paler and subtle than the others...its a new process to me so its very exciting..I love it.
