Estate Sale Treasure: Pretty Fabric and a Vintage Basket

Vintage Fabric ($1); Vintage Basket Purse ($2)
Here are the other finds from last Sunday's estate sale. :) We really did come home with a lot of vintage treasure!

The fabric reminds me of Marimekko, which I'm pretty sure I first saw in Domino Magazine a few years ago. (I miss you, Domino!!) This section of fabric is the perfect size to pretty up my desk a bit.

The wacky basket purse is decoupaged with all sorts of crazy things: a penny, tiny playing cards, a key, a license plate... But what drew me to it was the black cat on the front. :) That, and the 'Holy Mackerel!'.

I'm often reminded that you never know what you'll find on thrifty adventures. I don't think I'd have it any other way!

Always,
Amanda
