You are so lucky! I live in midwest Usa and there are no shops that carry things like you showed us here. Charity shops concentrate on clothing and household items. Antique shops may have lace and doilies, but at a price.
Oh no! It’s so disheartening sometimes when you can’t find anything, it can be weeks or months before I find anything as good as this haul. Keep you eyes peeled, do you have car boot sales/yard sales, also eBay sometimes has a bargain. I wish you luck in your quest of all that is vintage and hope you find something soon 🌸
Yes, they are diaper pins. There is a special way to open them because they would kind of lock so they didn't come open accidentally and stab the baby.
I often use eBay, it’s where people get rid of their own unwanted stashes and you can pick up some great pieces and a really good price - if bidding, set yourself a price you’re willing to pay for the items and if you win the auction, then brilliant, if it’s gone too high, then, hey ho, it wasn’t meant to be. There will be others, you just have to be patient. I also buy and sell vintage, so I visit local antiques fairs, car boot sales, charity shops and can pick up items there. Good luck with your search and best wishes for the new year 🌼

Гриб для штопки носков! Давно не видела такой вещи. Прекрасно!
I have never used one, but I am drawing to them and can’t help buying them when I see them. I wonder how many socks they have mended! 🧦 🧵 🪡

Thanks, I thought they looked familiar x
I think about all the fabric I have thrifted. And the bundles of fabric that is sold. Why can't they give just a little bit more for the same price.
Hunting for fabric is one of my favourite pastimes, it’s such a great feeling when you find some treasures 🌸
I live in the states and have ordered some things from Etsy. Sometimes I am really disappointed. Do you have any recommendations.

Do you have the link to order from this site?
Hi Elizabeth, sorry I don’t, most of the bits were either from local shops where I live and people on eBay who were having a clear out. X
