Yesterday I went out to the thrift store so I could make amends with it for disappointing me lately. I walked out with some great finds. There were three huge packs of assorted seam/hem binding, but I ended up just leaving with two. I couldn't justify buying all three. In just two packs, look at how much there was.

I also found these cute sheets. I've been using these as linings for my bags as it is much more economical than using some of my other fabrics. Anyway, I've realized I have way too much vintage/thrifted seam binding, more than I could ever use in a lifetime. I also have a lot of sheets & fabrics too that it is starting to feel overwhelming. I was thinking of maybe putting packs together of the seam binding, buttons, and maybe some fat quarters of the sheets/fabric. If I put these on etsy, would anyone be interested in them?
These will soon probably become candles as well. I am always able to find the best teacups at my thrift store. I seriously don't know where they all come from!

Speaking of teacups, remember these? Well they'll be going into my store as well. I bought them awhile ago, but I haven't figured out what to do with them. I absolutely love, love them, but they're just taking up room in my small workspace. So, if you love them as much as I do, hop on over to the store.

And much thanks to Ms. Rebecca of Thrifty Goodness. She was my very first etsy customer. How exciting it was to see that I actually sold something! I also want to thank all of you that have given me the encouragment to open one and the good wishes for my store!
Ok.. enough etsy talk for now. Tomorrow I promise it'll be something other than etsy and scrappy bags!
Great sheets! I love the prints! I think little packages would sell great on Etsy. Give it a try!!
ReplyDeleteKatie, I never have your kind of luck when it comes to thrifting. I think I must find new thrifting grounds to plunder.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I think little packages of goodies will sell like sweetcakes. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of sheets as liners. So green. So thrifty.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of little sewing packages on etsy. I need to check your shop out. Love everything I'm seeing here.
Cheers! LA
