Found A Mannequin!

Ok, I didn't win the mannequin at the auction. Just get over it. Probably a blessing in disguise. So today I stopped by the antique mall today to rent a booth. I just think it is something I need to do again. Before I left I decided to take a look around. Good Thing!!! What do you think I found? Of course... a mannequin. She is in pretty good condition and I'm going to ask for help to bring her to an exceptional condition.

Not only that but I picked up some great ribbon and lace and some wonderful wooden thread holders.

Ok, I think I'm through for the day.

Thanks for stopping by.

'til next time.

    Sorry you missed out on the mannequin but perhaps this other one was waiting just for you.

    Love the lace and trim along with the holders.

    Thank you for sharing

    Vera,
    You are right up my alley. I bet you and I could get into some trouble going thru those stores. I passed up one of them last year and have never forgotten it. I am glad you got it so it isn't on your mind forever. LOL

    Hi Vera,

    Great treasures you've got there! I love the antique wooden thread spools. They are just adorable.
