Oops, Linda is right, I haven't shown the goodies that I got from my trip to All The Trimmings in Morro Bay. First is this gorgeous vintage flower brooch. I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet. I'm thinking that it'd be great as an accent on a purse perhaps.
Vintage yellow flower petals made in Japan. They are earmarked to use as the skirt for a doll. And these ribbons were too beautiful to pass up.
This vintage beaded medallion trim is destined to be part of the mermaid's tail that I'm making for the 2007 Treasures of the Gypsy contest. This year's theme is Gypsies of the Sea. I've already filled out the form and emailed it in. Now I just have to get cracking on the doll. She's due in October.
And finally there were these little paperdolls that were made in Germany in the 1940s. Like I said, Lina has some amazing items in her store. She does sell some items via her website so go and check it out - All The Trimmings in Morro Bay, CA.
