More finds

I've been really good this last week, no shopping, just spending time on transforming that piece of fabric I bought second hand into something wearable. Sewing is just so much fun! :)

Anyway, I haven't finished showing what I got at my last spree, so let's move on. I found another leopard purse, something like 50 cents for this one.

And a terriffic 70's bikini, only 20 cents!!

It appears I have started a small collection of slips and nighties. I don't think anybody else had shown any interest in these pieces for a loong time as the lady in the shop actually gave me the white one after I pointed out there was a small stain on it...

And the craziness continues. I bought a yellow slip too, or maybe it's a nightgown, which was way to big for me. But it was so cheap and so pretty. What am I gonna do with it? Beats me...

Today I'm pretty exited, because in a few hours me and my boyfriend are going to look at flats. That's right, we're moving in together! The actual move won't happen for another month and a half or so, but because of our shifts this is pretty much the only time we could go together for a look before the end of the month. Moving is pretty complicated when you have to give one months notice to the current landlord, which you cannot do before you're sure to have somewhere new to move to...But I'm sure everything will work out in the end.

Nightie, nightie!

There's this charity shop in town that I've been to a few times, and the last time I went there I decided to dig through the box of undergarments and pyamas and the like. Down at the bottom, overlooked all the previous times I'd been there, was a treasure of vintage nighties and underskirts and more. Check out this one in blue;

Similar thing but in pink;

This one looked 30's at first but upon closer inspection I was unsure due to the quality of the seams. It's actually light blue and white stripey, not as white as it appears here;

There was a skin coloured slip that was even my size;

And a white one that was a bit too big, but still wearable, I think...

And then there were these funny looking underpants that I'll probably cut up and make something else out of, the lace was pretty nice.

I also got a couple of half slips, plain ones, for like 50 cent a piece. And this oversized pyama top in leopard print! I intend to make something else out of this one too, I'm just not too sure what it's gonna be yet, any suggestions? Right now I'm off for a shower and a quick tidy-up of the flat, my mum's coming over in about an hour!
