you are going to find rare, out of print, original Flea Market Fancy. Yep. Almost 1/2 yard of the original Flea Market Posy print. Are you ready for how much I paid for it? $1. Sigh. It was a good moment. Husband and I went to the Mennonite Relief Sale on the weekend. It is just such a lot of fun. Great food. Lots of thrifty things to buy and of course, quilts. And where there are quilts, there is fabric and I was looking through the tubs of fat quarters, and larger pieces and then I saw it. I politely asked the price and the lady said, "Oh, how about a dollar." And I said, "mmm, okay." It was a total, Ikea start the car commercial moment.
Giggle. This is now the third chunk of original Flea Market Fancy that I have bought at a thrift store or sale.
wow! I've found some treasures at the MCC sale in Winnipeg, but mostly of the vintage type. good eye! and how high do the quilts go at this sale?
ReplyDeletei am soooo jealous, lol. and here i was proud that i found 3 yards of bright pink bali for only $4, yours is so much better, lucky lady.
ReplyDeleteI managed to find some in a bin of scraps that was sold by the pound with some Heather Ross goldfish. It kind of started my fabric obsession.
ReplyDeleteA whole half yard though is amazing! I'll have to look more carefully.
