Last chance to be in with a chance to get two free hexagonal vintage fabric patches.

Tomorrow I will draw names out of a hat or a bowl or what ever I find around at the time.
If you haven't left a comment on the post then do it this evening or you will miss out.
Here is a link to take you straight to the post -

Here is what is coming up on the Rag Rescue website tomorrow.
Click on the photo to enlarge.

Don't miss tomorrow's preview photo of Sundays listings - great vintage fabrics that I purchased recently, I'm sure you will love them.

I'd love to hear your comments on this blog as I wonder sometimes if anybody is reading it. Would love to read your comments.

RAG RESCUE ON-LINE SHOP IS OPEN AGAIN FOR ORDERS

Just to let you all know that I have re-opened the Rag Rescue shop.

We had two fantastic fairs at Lincoln and Newark and not only sold well but bought extremely well bringing home three banana boxes full of vintage fabrics, vintage trims and vintage goods. Once I have sorted them out and logged them into my system I will begin listing them on the website. This will be a mammoth task as I will have to wash all of the fabrics and iron them, photograph and list them. However I hope to begin listing some of these new items around the middle of next week. I think that I will be working when the football is on and only watch the England matches.

So as not to disappoint my customers all new listings will begin on Monday 14th June with previews of the next days listings seen here on the blog the previous evening.
My thanks go out to everyone who bought from us, customers from as far away as Japan, Australia, Tasmania, USA, Europe and of course the UK. Thank you also for all your kind comments on the loss of Ludo, many tears were shed for such a well loved fair dog.
The good news is that one of my old contacts at the fairs may be able to get us a new rescue dog as her daughter runs a dog rescue sanctuary. So, fingers crossed that at the end of July when we have finished travelling down south to visit my son and attend his 2nd graduation we will have a small addition to the family unit once again, I can't wait.

Lots of lovely old beadwork fringing. It can be used as a whole or in small pieces to add as embellishments to garments, cushions, cards etc.

A DAY SPENT CUTTING VINTAGE FABRICS

What a busy day I've had. I got out lots of new fabric that I had recently acquired and spent a lovely day sorting through it, finding the damage and cutting it into squares, scrap bags and strip rolls.
There were 80 different squares to photograph with many having duplicates,  lots of scrapbags, some Victorian fabric pieces from old quilts etc. etc. All in all, I had to get the photo's ready for the site about 180 in total. Well that's ready now and all I have to do is start listing tomorrow on my admin ready for them to be listed over the next two weeks.
Keep an eye on this blog over the next few weeks as there are some wonderful pieces coming up. We start on Monday with those pieces of beadwork I promised a fews ago.
Well I'm off for a stiff drink now, I think I deserve it.
By the way as more and more postal strikes seem to be happening across the country, please let me know if you haven't received your orders in a reasonable time. So far so good, none have arrived late, so fingers crossed.
Listing start again on Monday so while you have a few days free from work why not have a good search around the site.
