The Thrill of the Find!

I’m certain it’s not quite the same as skydiving or bungee jumping, but there is an adrenaline rush that occurs when discovering a vintage fabric stash! Just this weekend, I was trolling an antique mall and sure enough, there they were! I tried to remain calm, cool and collected… I’ve been able to perfect this technique over the last few years. It’s important not to let on how totally gaga you are over the find when trying to purchase at the lowest possible price. Which is also another thrill to be had; the thrill of the bargain!

I was able to welcome four amazing fabrics into the family, and at an extremely reasonable price. Another successful treasure hunting experience. There is such a satisfaction in this for me. I know that when I put them on display in their best possible light at Sew Vintage, the world will be able to re-discover them and they will fulfill their purpose to become something beautiful in someone’s life and home.

The thrill of the find is just the beginning of this incredible experience. But it is certainly one of the most enjoyable aspects of being a vintage fabric fanatic!
