I scored at the Salvation Army the other day. Four bags of vintage millinery flowers for 25 cents a piece! I had been looking for white flowers for a project and these have that perfect antique white hue to them due to their age. They were in their original package unopened.
I had in my mind this hat, that I wanted to take the red flowers off of. I wanted to use lace and I was waiting for the right thing to come along to use for it's makeover.
I like the rose on this lace scarf. The scarf is a little too long but, it does look romantic;
.....or, maybe a vintage cameo. I like them both, very romantic. It reminds me a lot of 'A Room with a View.' Does anyone remember that movie?
