Magpie Monday!
Please join in!
Now I have to confess that I love all things spotty and dotty! Especially Pink! which seems to adorn all manner of things in my craft room, trays, cups, table covers............ need I go on.
So I was a bit lapse last week with regard to Magpie Monday due to the children being off and having a busy time with customer orders etc so I was very pleasantly surprised when I managed to find time to visit the local car boot on Saturday morning.
I went to see the lovely man that sells fresh vegetables, at low prices but high quality. As I turned around with my over sized cauliflowers and bags bulging with cooking apples and rhubarb, I saw this...........
It is actually a white spotted blue roman blind. Its actually a lovely pale blue (the picture does not do it justice) and it is about 4 feet wide by about 10 feet drop. The fabric is upholstery quality and it is lined. Sadly it will be cannibalised and the rods given to a friend who makes blinds, the Fabric will be made into pockets for my new range of children's aprons, so as soon as I have made one I will photograph it and post for you all to see, it will not be this week sadly as I have rather a lot of other things to do first!
My blind cost 50p which was an absolute bargain, I gave the lady a £1 and said I did not want the change, but she insisted on giving it to me!
A bargain indeed. What beautiful fabric.
ReplyDeleteOf course, with your talents you'd see the potential in it whereas I'd probably buy it beacuse it was pretty and then not know what to do with it!
Thanks for linking up x
Lovely and so clever of you to work out the uses for it too.
