Hooked!

(... but not in the crochet kind of way...)

I was getting all ready to finally do some sewing on my dress after a long hiatus, when I got sidetracked (once again) into taking some photographs. Everywhere I go and whatever it is that I am doing these days, I am now seeing framed shots in everything!   <wink>

Anyway, a lovely friend of mine, who due to medical reasons can no longer enjoy sewing, recently offered me to go through her entire sewing room and take whatever suited my fancy: I came home with bags filled with muslin fabric and interfacing to last me for years! Some fun fabrics as well but most exciting were all the notions that both she and her mother had collected over the years.

Just look at this bounty:

These are my favorite buttons...

All this just had to be photographed of course!

The lovely vintage sewing box that I found a couple of months ago at the thrift store, is now filled to the rim with buttons, bias tape, lace tape, ribbons etc. Let's see what I will use first... 

Thank You My Friend! (you know who you are...)  {smile}
