A vintage crossed stiched on linen thingy (they have a fancy name but I forgot what it is...)
with my initials!
For keeping sewing bits and bobs together.
In my case for keeping mini stitching projects together in my handbag so i can quietly craft in my car should Claud fall asleep en-route anywhere (currently op-shopped dolly clothing repairs, and an attempt to make a mini, doll house sized knitted tea cosy out of an old woolly jumper, which is not going very well).
Found in a random shop in Dunedin I noticed when looking for Modern Miss (famous in NZ retro clothes place) which I never found. It was was full of wonderful wonderful stuff (think cast-off ballet costumes and vintage haberdashery), and dirt cheap.
I forgot the name of it, but it's on Dowling St, just up and over the road from the Brett McDowell gallery, 3 flights up near the mental health foundation place, in case your ever in Duners.
Linking up with all the other clever recyclers at Sophie Isobels
That is really prettily stitched - it seems to be fate too!! Slim odds of finding something so nice with your initials! :-)

That is sooo sweet!Made just for you,and waiting quietly!Sounds like a fab little oppy,haven't been to Dunedin for AGES!
ReplyDeleteRe your last post,I didn't tell anyone but G I was blogging for the longest time!!! I just felt sort of funny about it,worried it was shallow,or silly.....and I enjoyed my secret too!But most peeps know know,and the majority do read and enjoy it.Funny,though,what you say about peeps being so into themselves.....hmmmm,I've seen a bit of that,o yes!

What a lucky coincidence! Perfect for crafting on the go! I was going to keep my blog a secret but then I needed a photographer so the secret was out pretty quick.

ReplyDeleteI love the monogramed case you found! it was meant to be yours
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What a find :) That's going on my list for our trip to NZ.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to work out the odds of finding something with your own initials but now my brain hurts as needless to say it is very high...
ReplyDeletefancy finding that with your initials, you were meant to have it. I love the linen and red together.
ReplyDeleteWhat impeccable embroidery. It's very special, and was obviously meant for you.
