Charity Shop Treasure...Batik...

I bought this lovely little piece of batik-ed fabric for 20p!!!!!!!!!




I love all the little details (the fabric is about 18 inches square), and the little birds in their houses and the orange-y-ness of it...and the fact it was 20p!

Have you found anything marvelous in the charity shops recently?

  1. That's a lovely piece of fabric - what are you going to make with it ? a lined bag perhaps ?

    1. Thanks Wean, I think so too! I'm going to frame it in some way and put it up on my wall, i wouldn't trust myself not to ruin such a lovely bit of fabric by making something with it, my sewing machine is notoriously naughty and would probably eat it!

  2. I love it, and the colours are awesome. I've started to pick up some bits for my new veggie venture in South Wales. Hope your well Sooz x

  3. Oh isn't it fab? What a great price! Are you making something or framing it? It would make a nice picture. Thanks for linking up.

  5. Try boot sales for picture frames - sooz, much cheaper.
    Go to the one in 'our' Town Centre on Sunday mornings, you'll find great stuff there.

    1. I didn't know that one was still going, we used to go as kids but then it changed and seemed to be mostly stall selling new, cheap stuff rather than a car boot, I shall have to try it again! Thanks for the tip! :)

  6. It's very good sooz - give it a try. Don't think there's any 'commercial' stalls there now, except the usual hot dog stands of course.
