C'mon baby, mama needs a new camera...

Thanks so much for all the advice on cameras! I'm doing my research and stocking my etsy shop to raise money for a new one. Here is my latest creation, this bag, made from a vintage tablecloth and lined with lots of pretty fabrics and trims, it even has a perfect vintage enamel brooch. Looks cute with jeans and tee, no?
And knowing my complete addiction to vintage linens, a friend gave me some beautiful toweling yardage from her mothers estate. Enough to hoard and share with you too! I know she will understand my need for a camera.
Think of the possibilities! ring clips would make these into perfect cottage kitchen valances, or pillows, or a table runner, or, well, the list is endless. You could even make kitchen towels:>) So I am shamelessly self promoting for my camera. Lots more coming, I'm going to be a very busy girl. Stay tuned!

I appreciate all your comments and support so much! So, while I'm raising money for the camera I will also be adding a little something extra to each order from my shop! A vintage apron here, a vintage towel there, you never know what will come with your order, but I promise it will be beautiful! I've just added a couple little birds to the shop, so hop on over and have a look:>)

  11. Better stock up on shipping boxes Cathy. I'll check out your etsy shop tomorrow. I need you to get that camera ASAP. I'm afraid your daughter will take her camera back and I'll miss something excting.
