Vintage Fabric - From the UK with Love

Saturday I received a lovely package in the mail filled with goodies I treasure so very much, pieces of vintage fabric! This was no ordinary, vintage fabric filled package, as so few could ever be labeled. No, this was in fact an extraordinary package having met several criteria, not least of which was its origination from a new-to-me source across the pond AND I won this package by simply entering a Facebook contest hosted by Donna Flower Vintage Fabrics. How very sweet is that? Here's what I found when I opened the pretty pink package:

My prize from Donna Flower

 Now, if any of you happen to know me at all, you'll know that as much as I love my vintage fabrics I have the hardest time cutting into them and committing each piece to a project. Do you think my choices and ability to commit will be any easier now? 

My fully opened prize with so many lovely pieces.

There have been a handful of goodies produced using some of my stash of vintage treasures, with many more on the way. (Check my growing collection of photos on Facebook if you need a refresher.) Until now my only go-to Europe-based fabric source has been Rag Rescue, owned by the lovely Sandie. Tell her I said, "Hi!" if you pop by. My stash from Rag Rescue still contains a large selection of beauties like these:

Only a few of the LARGE collection I've yet to use from Rag Rescue.

Suffice to say, I need to take the plunge and put some goodies together... and soon... so that I can place more orders with these wonderful shops! I'll be sure to let you know what I come up with.
