The best finds are when you come across a"job lot".. for example an old wooden French trunk over-flowing with buttons, buckles, fabric, trimmings.... which is just what Mr W found for me last week at the fair in Newark!
It has taken me many hours to sort through it all and decide what will be going where? A lot will be coming to The Vintage and Handmade Textile Fair on Saturday the 25th of February.
As will this gorgeous Spring ensemble. A matching 1950's dress and jacket - approx size 12. A perfect for attending a vintage style wedding!
It would appear that I am not the only one who is busy preparing. Check here for another sneak preview!

Hi Lizzie, how lovely your stash looks... I wish I were nearer to come and buy (I would!).. love that 1950's dress. Good luck and take care. Love Helen, Darcy and Bingley xxxx
That dress and jacket is gorgeous.
Well done to Mr W for finding such a fab job lot. I love it when you come across a box full of treasures and it is such fun going through it all because you never know what you will discover.

That sounds like a great find. Oh and sorry for knocking some of your lovely display over, when I saw you in Honiton, went to an auction yesterday in Honiton and a box of lace went for £380!!!! Have a lovely sunday.
