The Trina

 

 

Isn't this print just La La Lovely?!  Well I thought so, and this is why I plucked it from a pile of garbage at an estate sale.  There was a major, and I mean MAJOR stain across most of this skirt.  I guess they thought it couldn't be salvaged.  They thought wrong.  Hmm, I just realized this is the third time I have confessed to plucking something from the garbage of an estate sale.  I swear I am not a freegan, nor am I rummaging through the garbage at estate sales.  All the items have been in plain sight and just sitting on top...sort of.

Okay the story I want to share is how this print/pocketbook got it's name.  Are you familiar with the lovely Trina McNeilly of the blog La La Lovely Things?  Well I stumbled across her blog sometime last year and quickly added her to my reader.  Well one post in particular caught my attention.  Miss Trina seemed to be having a bit of a rough day.  She needed some sunshine and a smile, and she needed it STAT!  In the post she mentioned that she like daisies.  That's it!  I'll send her flowers, but the kind that won't die.  I quickly went through my inventory to find the closest thing to daisies and this fabric is what I found.  I had planned to make a handful of  kerchief necksessories from this print, but what I wanted and what God had planned were two different things.  

Miss Trina received the first pocketbook from this fabric so we thought it appropriate to name it after her.  And that my friends is how this lovely little pocketbook got its name.  Thanks Trina!
