Kringloopwinkel - thrift store finds

Last saturday, my mum and I went to the Kringloopwinkel (for those interested: the one in Kortrijk). And I must say, it was a HUGE score ... for the both of us. Wool for my mum, fabrics for me. Yay!

An overview of everything we got .... 

Bright orange knit fabric

Yellow knit fabric

And blue knit fabric

A gorgeous raspberry cotton - it's much brighter than in the picture

Beautiful petrol cotton

And a piece of blue fabric 

And now, the wool ...

An overview of all the wool we found

Milky (Phildar) - color: mouette 

20 (!) Milky (Phildar) - color: pie

Horizons (Phildar): it changes color as you go. Really amazing wool

Horizons (Phildar) in another color

Don't remember the brand anymore :-). I'll have to ask my mum :-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Kringloopwinkel - thrift finds

Another possible new series of posts: my Kringloopwinkel finds. I love to go and check out what they have in store. It caters for my flea market needs - since there are no open-air flea markets during winter time ...

So, what did I find? The thrift store had a "retro day" two weeks ago, and usually, everything is sold and gone within the hour. Not in Leuven apparently, where I went this week: lots and lots of sewing finds!

1. First of all: lots of passementerie ribbon. I don't know what I'll do with it, but I couldn't let that pass. They're vintage, and I love it. Any ideas welcome off course!

Just look at the goodness. There were more, I'm thinking about going back and buy some more ...

Tassels!

2. Vintage fabrics. Love love loooove this blue flowery fabric, off course. It's sturdy cotton and I'm sure it will make a lovely dress. The orange was just too vintage not to buy. If I don't use it myself, I'm sure some other people will :-)

Maurice agrees: lovely fabric 

And this is just the sewing stuff! Thanks for stopping by!
