So Friday came, what a full on week at work!  The last few weeks have been emotionally draining, long story.  So I said to my friend, ‘Something good is going to happen today, I am at work for a reason other than serving customers!’  So anyway, not more than an hour later, a customer waited patiently in the LONG line we always have, to ask for some assistance in choosing fabric to match her pulled apart vintage dress.  So off we went to find some fabric and at last settled on a chiffon and satin combo to match back to the beaded pieces off the vintage dress.  I mentioned how much I love vintage and also how I run my own clothing label using vintage and recycled fabrics.  And alas, this friendly lady owns a store around the corner from my house, selling one off creations from local designers!  WOW.  So I got on the computer and emailed her the next day to tee up an appointment, called her on Monday, showed her my range – and now I am busy sewing a whole heap of pieces from the ‘Ballerina on Horseback’ range.  Yippee! Can you believe how life works, one thing in your life breaks down, yet another grows and thrives.  Why can we never have it all!  Maybe the things we want aren’t always the things we need?  See pics below for a sneak peek of work in progress.
