the past two fridays i've had amazing luck at the thrift store. last week i got a neiman marcus fur stole in new condition. this week i happened upon all this goodness. a bag of silver, which i will be trying this on because i'm not into polishing. then i will be trying to stamp it with my new metal stamps/punches to look this, except hopefully mine will look a million times better. wish me luck on that one! the bag of silver had four complete place settings of random patterns.
i also scored this wool cape and j crew seersucker pants.
i even got the floral ralph lauren fabric and the awning stripe fabric. it's weird how it all works together. do you think about where donated items from the thrift store come from? i do. in this case, i wonder if the same person loved this color palette at one time and donated all these items. or is it a quinky dink? anywho, hope you all have a fun filled weekend! if you have any experience stamping silver, drop me a line. i'd love to hear your tips!
Score! Nice work Amber...can't wait to see how the silver stamping goes!
ReplyDeleteYou scored some neat things. The silver is great. I actually enjoy polishing silver -- maybe because I only do it twice a year and it feels like a holiday tradition. The cape is so cute! I'd like to see it on you.
