thrift store musings

06/07/2012

A recent thrift store trip brought in a fresh source of inspiration and projects to come.

Thrifting fabric is always an uplifting experience with all the different colors and patterns to stumble upon. This time around I've added quality linens to the collection to be a permanent addition in my kitchen. I came home with a mix of hand embroidered and blank napkins to add my own designs to. Right now my head is buzzing with all the infinite possibilities. While some have predestined plans and others just speculations, I do believe the yarn belongs to the Sunday Cuffs pictured on the latest issue of Jane Austen Knits.
