31 packages of rick rack plus 3 bundles that aren’t in packages. Mostly cotton, all vintage and antique. I love the old package graphics.
14 packages of cotton bias tape.
5 packages of cotton twill tape, 1/4″ and 1/2″ wide.
Some other misc. trims and embellieshments that I might use or else I have an idea of someone who might like it. And, what we think is a purse top, and a box of bobbins that look like they will fit my Bernina. I’m going to try them out later.
Some wonderful old cards of fasteners. You know, it causes me great distress to use fasteners that come from a card with a price above 25¢. And more fasteners in a wonderful old box. “Anti-Colic Nipples- the Sani-Tab. None Genuine without the Blue Band”
2 McCalls Needlecrafts magazines from the early ’70’s.
And then the fabric. I”ll put that in another post instead of drowning you with photos in this one. I forgot to take a photo of the room with all the tables, piled with goodies. I had a wonderful time!
What a great haul.
I was looking in my stash for some rickrack yesterday and found a package that has a price of 15 cents on it. Old.
Oh wow! I wish I lived near enough to take part, but I can’t think of a better person to make good use of all these things.
ahh heaven!
love them all
WOW!! SO many treasures, Lucky you!
I just sent you a mail with the translations of the useful comments left on my blog!
they just don’t make stuff like they used to. :-)
You are a happy camper. Good thing those kids moved out and left you room to spread! I love the old graphics, too. I have an aqua mix-master from the 40s on my bookcase in the living room.
Wonderful stuff! Can’t wait to see what you do with the items you use. I’d find it hard to break into the old packaging. Perhaps you can start a haberdashery museum? ;)
Oh, I meant to ask, Mimi, have you seen the vintage hooks & eyes made in England by Newey under the trademark “La Poupee”? If not, I’ll have to send you a picture link.
Wow! Great haul! I love your fabric in the other post, too!
