Well it sure doesn't pay to break your little finger!!  No stitching and just sitting on the couch with my "time waster" I-Pad spending money!!  Also Brimfield was last week and I managed to go a couple days and visit some of my favorite dealers. 


The stars and the pinwheel sequins are from Berger Beads vintage sequin selection.




The metal steel cut arrow was $1.00 on a table of junk at Brimfield and I could not resist. 
The 1/2 circles are from the French connection I found last month. 



The bar sequins.... several sizes and colors are also from Berger beads.



The soutache is usually $1.00 a yard at vintage textile dealers.  This package was $2.00 for 6 yards.
The metal steel cut beads were in a plastic baggie of junk for $2.00.



The green, white,and purple sew ons and yellow cog sequins are from my fav bead guy at Brimfield... Old and pricey.  The squares are from Berger beads.

This does not count the new pants, summer tops, and shoes ... I did loose some weight...  that Mr Visa is gonna come collecting for at the end of the month.

Trip to Delectable Mountain Cloth

Today I got my monthly fabric shopping "fix" by going to Delectable Mountain Cloth in Brattleboro VT.

The rolls of fabric on the stand are great for crazy quilting.... no two are alike!!!

It's really the greatest store teaming with fabulous fabric!!!!  

I have also found a great source for sequins!!!  They are made in France by Langlois Martin and are Excellent quality.   Great for tambour because they come in worms(strung on thread).  The link is http://www.paillettesetbroderie.com/.  I am giving you the address so you can go there at your whim.  It comes up in French but you can click on the flag in the upper left corner for English.

Expensive but the only other way you can get the variety and quality is to go to France!!!!
