Wonderful vintage finds

Over the past weeks I have had a fabulous run of luck with my thrift shopping, finding a Penguin Classics written by William Morris which promises to be an eyeopener, as I had no idea he aspired to one of my favourite genres of writing, science fiction.
I also found The Designs of William Morris which is a delightful little book showcasing various textiles, wallpaper designs, artworks etc. Then I was excited to find Fabulous Fabrics of the 50s which is a lot of fun with wonderful photos of vintage fabric. I would highly recommend this book and it is quite reasonably priced.
The coasters are various Henry De Toulouse-Lautrec lithographs and absolutely divine. All these goodies are resting on three, yes three metres, of a glorious patterned wool crepe from which I shall probably make a skirt and perhaps a few wraps which will be backed with emerald silk dupion.
Ooh almost forgot the cute little Liberty coin purse, isn’t it too special? 
Great finds, Kathleen!
thanks wardeh!
Thanks for popping by my blog! Isn’t thrifting great?!
