WHAT TO DO???

When I just get my area straightened around and picked up this is what I do!! I get things from the closet (a spare bedroom we made into a closet, for in our log cabin we have no closets) bring them out into the living room (living room in our basement) and pour things right on the floor. This was a large (30 gallon) trash bag of lace scraps I purchased from a seamstress last year at her yard sale. When I found this bag I thought I had hit pay dirt to say the least. I asked her how much she wanted for the bag full, she said $5.00. I think she made wedding gowns and accessories. Most is vintage lace, trim and other items. I think what she did was cut lace off from wedding gowns to use in whatever she was making. She sure did spend alot of time doing this because there sure is alot of it. This pile here was only one bag inside of the large bag. I love beautiful things, they make me happy, even if it is pieces of lace and other findings. Visit my etsy shop www.aclosetoftreasures.etsy.com to see what I made with some of my goodies.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
