Europe

Michelle, my sister-in-law just got back from a trip to Europe. Her and her husband went exploring London and Scotland and then onto their old haunt of the Bruno in the Czech Republic. While there she was nice enough to pick up some really amazing vintage buttons and ribbons in London. I love them and I'm sure it will take me a very long time to actually use them. So for now they're sitting prettily in my sewing room making me happy.I picked up this fabric at the thrift store on Friday and I love it. Unfortunately I'd love to know more about it and can't seem to find anything. It's canvas weight, vintage, I'm thinking maybe from the 60's or 70's. Of course I've been known to be completely wrong so if you know anything about I'd love to know. It thinks it's destined for some bags very soon.

Insanely beautiful. Sorry, no idea about its origins though. Looks like the type that's been an inspiration for the folky-theme in newer fabric lines...
