One of the local furniture stores, Storehouse, is going out of business. My sister and I decided to stop by on Sunday and voila! We scored some funky swatches for 50cents each. Not bad, deal huh? Of course, the furniture, even at 80% was waaaaay out of my budget. I totally love the funky and retro prints. I think I'm starting to develop a fondness for browns and teals. These are the perfect size to make little handbags or purses.
After a brief scare on Saturday (Sis and I briefly thought our parents never made it to TX on their roadtrip--they left on Thursday but all is well), I found my best thrift store score ever! Check out this apron! I HAS to be vintage. The material feels like a thin linen. It's stiffened with age. It's hand embroidered on the front and all along the bottom of the apron skirt. AND the wasit band is hand smocked. How cool is that? My sis wants me to wear it but it's too cool and pretty for me to dirty up. Should I wear it?
