Introducing Miss Scarlet_Velvets Gothic Emporium

Firstly I have to apologize for the quality of the pictures but not bad for a phone , the joys of modern technology!
I was out on the road Wednesday sourcing and buying for Miss scarlet with her on the end of the phone egging me on .
She now has an impressive start to her Gothic Emporium with her core stock , this is a tiny sample of the gorgeous swishing taffeta , lace and heavy damasks and some lovely jet beading.
You Goths need to contact her at scarletletter@hotmail.co.uk and keep an eye on scarletvelvetsgothicemporium.blogspot.com

Lady Shedowners

I know ! sounds like wheel tappers and shunters but we lady shed owners love our sheds.
I spent a Iovely morning today as the guest of Sue who invited me for a shed rummage.
Sue has been a tayloress and needlewoman all her life and has a shed overlooking a breathtaking view over the valley.
She has a row of Bernina sewing machines and a well organized workspace the shelves however were full of jars and tins and some happy time later this was what we accumulated.
We had great fun and I am happy with my collection.
I really like the amazing set of metal diamond shape Scottish buttons with a thistle on , these would have been on a lovely velvet jacket they wear with the kilt.
The pair of enamels with roses are sweet and some interesting mock-cut-steel-not-sure-what-they-are's?? and a nice collection of 40's
