The above vintage fabrics have been listed on the website today.

Vintage Penelope vegetable embroidery threads.

Brighter than silk embroidery thread, this is made from a vegetable fibre and apparently 

is unsurpassed for brilliancy and lustre.

Scrapbags containing English, French and Japanese fabrics

Four pretty  scrapbags including one with all Japanese silk vintage fabrics and one with all cotton Japanese vintage fabrics. 

I've finally finished clearing our lounge now so all I have to do is get up early ready for the decorator to start transforming it tomorrow morning. I'm really looking forward to getting it decorated for me as all my married life I've decorated myself. My excuse is that this lounge is just too large and the ceiling too high. 

My house started life as three fishing cottages. The houses were all knocked into one and eventually two of the houses downstairs became an ice-cream parlour, hence the large size. the outhouses became the ice-cream factory which in the 1960's were converted into extra living areas.

Busy, busy, busy but still listing every day and taking orders.

Been busy all day clearing the lounge ready for the decorators on Monday. It's not the packing of boxes but where to put them all for the next couple of weeks. 

Any ideas?

A good selection of antique and vintage beads for your embellishing.

Sorry I missed updating the blog last night but I had been ill in bed all day. 

Feeling much better today so as usual Mr Rag Rescue was right (as usual) to suggest bed rest.

September is a really busy month ahead for me. We have the decorators coming in on the 12th so next week I have to clear the lounge and find somewhere to stack all of the boxes - problem.

I also have my son coming over for five days. He has been travelling around the world for a year and arrives at Heathrow on Tuesday from Rio. I'm not sure when he is arriving at our house but I know it will be when the decorators are here - where do we all sit?

Then at the end of the month I have my ex-husband and his new wife visiting to see the grandchildren and us. We will have to go out for a meal as the dining room will probably be full of boxes still awaiting the new carpet.

So all in all a busy month. In order to keep the Rag Rescue website going strongly and keeping up with my promise to post orders within a day of them arriving, I have spent the last three days pre-listing the next five weeks. I have taken 293 photo's and listed 190 items.

I am now exhausted so I'm off for a stiff drink. It's a good job that hubby cooks, otherwise I would be starving. Just hope we don't have any other visitors before I clean through the house.

Vintage buttons at Rag Rescue today

Sorry this is late. I just had to go to bed early last night after spending the afternoon on the beach with my mother, daughter and grandchildren. Forgotten how heavy a 17 month old is to carry around or how heavy a fully laden pushchair is to push up and down a sand filled ramp.

Anyway, the above buttons are now on the Rag Rescue website.
