tip-shopping tea towels


 










 
as you can see last weekends tip-shop visit did not disappoint. I could not believe it when we came across all these vintage linens on the shelf.
and all of this for $10.
& i think i've just started a new collection too.. of pretty woven coat hangers.
 
my favourite t towel is the last one with the different happenings each day of the week.
Which is your fav?

wearing: woollen blanket vest







so I've been spying a bit of woollen blanket up-cycling around lately.. think hats, satchel bags, quilts and kids clothes.
I have a little stash of blankets stored away in vintage suitcases, collected over the years from op-shops and decided to cut into one.
I made the pattern for this little vest from a vest I already own (and seem to wear several times a week layered with shirt/cardigan/scarf). I lined it with a floral sheet in shades of blue and green and added a glass button from the collection.

wearing:
up-cycled woollen blanket vest
chambray shirt: wardrobe staple
jeans: wardrobe staple
scarf: handmade from vintage linens and doilies (you can find my simple diy here)
clogs: lotta from Stockholm
leather satchel: down that little lane

have you up-cycled a woollen blanket before? what did you make?
 
 
I'm joining in for the first time with wardrobe Wednesday hosted by Kimba likes.
