I'm afraid
I will not be listing items every day in the near future. I have decided that I will only be listing at the beginning of
each month.
I would like to explain my reasons for this new listing regime. I
have been extremely busy of late, all due to my mother having to go
into a care home. Three years ago, she didn't want to get rid of
anything, when she left her house, so it all had to go into storage. The
lock - up we found looked ideal at the time, however three years later
we discovered that it was very damp due to condensation. Now that I am
having to clear it out, it means that I am having to unwrap, wash and
wrap everything again ready for sale. A
mammoth job as there are approx. 60 banana boxes to work on. My house,
now has the contents of the lock-up in almost every room and it is
driving me crazy.
When I have sold everything, I want to change the room my mother lived
in, into a super craft room. Afterwards I have to do our tax returns
plus the business, which I would normally have completed by now.
After telling all this to a good customer friend of mine, she said what I
needed a holiday, a housekeeper and an accountant. Well I can't afford a
housekeeper and although I have an accountant, I prepare everything
myself to keep costs down. The holiday this year is just a 2 day trip to
London to the O2 to see Monty Python, a 65th birthday gift for my
husband from my son. So... being so stressed I searched my grey matter for something to
relieve the pressure I am under and came up with the idea above.
The cushions are from the Vintage and Homemade Fair in England, spring 2011. Wonder who made them!
You could make some like these as there are lots of individual vintage fabric squares at the Rag Rescue website. www.ragrescue.co.uk
You can pick and choose, mix and match. Only 40p, 50p and 60p for 4",
5",6" sqiares.
The pics below, show the squares that have been added today. All
French vintage fabric.
More vintage fabric squares have been added to
the Rag Rescue collection today. Six added and three sold already
although there are lots still on the website. Here are the new ones that
are still available.
I'm hoping to get some washing of vintage fabric completed this morning as they are piling up.
Today I've put some more lovely vintage fabric squares on the website.
These are great, not only for patchwork but for any small project.
