I had a great weekend! It started out with my digging out my sewing machine and sewing a new doggie bed and some throw pillows and having my sewing machine frustrate the poop out of me! I am done with it and I am officially buying a new one! It got dropped in a move and has never been quite the same since I had it fixed That was actually the not so good part of the weekend. Nothing is worse than spending more time fighting with your machine than it took to complete the actual project. ANYWAY...Saturday we went to a Red Sox game, the weather was perfect! We parked on Newbury Street and had lunch-lovely day. And yesterday my neighbor called me up and asked me if I wanted to go to the Antique Textile and Vintage Fashion Show. This is a show that is right at the start of Brimfield. I have been wanting to go for some time to the textile show, it is only 45 minutes from my house. AND OMIGOSH! I was in heaven! So much bark cloth and a broken sewing machine at home, yikes! But I away with this cute purse and 2 vintage silk scarves and 4 cashmere sweaters. Really the entire show was like Nirvana for me. I did get to thinking that I have a couture vintage ball gown that I could probably sell and I have some silk night gowns from the 30's. Funny how I have acquired this stuff over the years. I have actually worn the ball gown to 3 different events but it may be time to move it on to another destination. I took a couple of buyer names down that I could sell my gooodies to. I can bring myself to part with things that I have picked up myself at estate sales but nothing of my own families and trust me I have quite a bit of costume jewelry from my grandmother. I think this may become a yearly sojourn for me! Actually, I think it is held 3 times a year BUT I will try to at least get to one a year....one so I don't break the bank! Won't this be a cute fall purse to tote around?
