Victorian silk ribbon tradesmans samples

I recently acquired a large bag of Victorian ribbon trademans samples and was over the moon. Many of them are plain colours but the silk is divine.

These are perfect for period projects but I will be framing some and you may like to do this as well.

As the ribbon is silk it shines different shades with movement and is so pleasing.

This ribbon is perfect and in excellent condition.

 

All the ribbons I put on the website last week have sold so if you like them don't hang around.

 

Now at the RAG RESCUE WEBSITE

More vintage fabric at the Rag Rescue website tomorrow

Saturday special listing of handmade wall hanging.

I don't normally list on a Saturday at the moment but I have decided just to put one special item each Saturday as I have some larger items to list.

I have just listed this lovely handmade vintage fabric, lace and nuno felted wall hanging on the website. At the moment I don't have a category for handmade items so I've placed it in the 'Vintage goods' category as all of the items used in the wall hanging are vintage or antique. The fabric is French.

Individual vintage fabric squares for crafts

At Rag Rescue you can buy individual vintage fabric squares for your crafting. There is no need to buy large pieces of fabric.

At 40p for a 4" square, 50p for a 5" square and 60p for a 6" square, its a snip.

Look what you could quickly make for yourself with just a few squares. Quilt some shapes together and 

hey presto!

These were made and sold at slvilov's shop on Etsy.

Busy st the Rag rescue website

What a day it was yesterday. My plan was to wrap up orders and then download all the photo's of the previous day, onto my computer.

Things never go to plan and by 6pm after working hard all day, I still hadn't downloaded the photo's. So I got up at 4am today and now they are on the computer. I can start measuring and pre-listing items now for the next month.

I find that by working flat out for a whole week I can then take it easy for the next three weeks giving me time for myself and my family.

SO sorry for not posting yesterday with the new items.

Here are today's items that will be listing shortly. Lovely vintage silky hankies.

These lovely vintage fabric scrapbags are now on the website.

FELTISSIMO ETSY SHOP

A very special sewing case made from hand made felt and embellished with lace, beads, vintage flowers, motifs and Rococo ribbon roses.
The flower shaped case has been made in four individual section which are tied together at the top with antique ivory silk ribbon. When the ribbon is untied the four section fall down to display four pockets holding a variety of vintage sewing equipment. The pockets have been made using French vintage fabric. The pockets hold a packet of vintage needles, some mending thread, a strip of Glamour buttons, four card reels of sewing silks, ribbon and lace.

Feltissimo, my new etsy shop

Just thought I'd let you all know that I have been creating, yes I've finally managed to find time.

I have opened an etsy shop called  

Feltissimo 

where I will be adding more of my creations over the next few days and weeks.

If this link to the shop doesn't work can you let me know please.

More vintage silky hankies at the Rag Rescue website

I have finally managed to get my new broadband installed which is why I was unable to post for the past few days. Our house is very old and the BT cable coming into our house apparently was wearing out. This had to be replaced and then the new cable set up inside. I spent yesterday changing all of my personal emails over and I will probably spend this morning doing the same. However I think it will be worth it in the end as it is cheaper and the internet speed is so very much faster.

Getting back to the Rag Rescue business, I am now only listing new items on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Here are today's items that will be listed at 7am GMT.

Rag Rescue website

See how wonderful vintage hankies can be used as a curtain.
