My treasures today are some pretty little vintage pieces I picked up at the Paris flea market not long back. I particularly love the little hand- stitched hexie flower. I doesn't appear from looking at the back that it was paper pieced, just put together with running stitch. The fabrics are sweet also.The shop where I bought them was like Aladdin's cave, a treasure trove of vintage clothing, lace, fabric and sewing accessories as well as vintage linens with white embroidery and monograms. I was almost speechless, I was hard to know where to look. I soon came back to reality when I started asking prices. That's why my haul is so meagre. Ah well, 'C'est la vie!'
This photo is not the shop, just a view down one of the lanes. The vintage hanky and trim came from another stall and were quite reasonably priced.
