A little piece of pretty



Another great find from a thrift trip to the Pacific Northwest. This floral pattern was a scrap we found in the garbage at an estate sale. I guess you could call us “fabric freegans” (wink, wink). The lady couldn't believe someone wanted this tiny scrap. I had to twist her arm to give it to me. I even offered to pay for it, but she wouldn't hear of it. She seemed really ticked off that I pulled something from the garbage. In my defense, this little piece was just sitting on top and I thought maybe someone dropped it in there by accident. Judging by her reaction (attitude) I am guessing it was no accident.

Side note, I do not make it a habit to frequenting estate sales and rummage through the garbage. This was a first, but I can't promise it will be the last.
