Really, I do- all the time. Apparently it's something I've always done. I've been told that for the first four years of my life, I insisted on calling all beverages, ogendagens. Despite knowing how to say milk, water, juice, etc. I was just stubborn about it. Me? Stubborn? Go figure.
Well, I've coined a new one, folks- Fabriganza. Fabric + Extravaganza. And that's what I had this past weekend, a super fabriganza! I thrifted a bunch of vintage goodies, check 'em out.
I'm not exactly sure what kind of fabric this is. It's got a bit of a sheen to it and it has some give to it. Maybe rayon? Well, whatever it is, it's fab!
This one makes my eyes go a little crazy. Not sure how well that's going to work out when I go to cut it and actually make something. (It's a thick cotton, very sturdy.)
The one on the left is super crazy. It appears to be dual-layered and woven together. Check out the close up below, it's it great? It makes me wish I knew how to make clothes. I totally want a jacket made out of it!
I'm a sucker for prints, can you tell?! Especially that blue one. I have something pretty similar in red, green and yellow!
I got these two pink things for 50 cents. I can't tell if they are napkins or hankies, but what I do know is they are crazy. They have little people on them!
See them? These second photo is more true to the color too, not so bright.
I also found an unopened bag of stuffing. Yay, I was getting low. Phew.
I saved the best for last! I was so excited about these last finds that I'm still grinning from ear to ear.
I can't believe I finally found one those ridiculously kitschy vintage sheets. They're always on the top of my list when I go thrifting, but I've never had any luck until now. As for the velvet, it was the first thing I picked up when we got to the store and I knew it was going to be a spectacular day. Baby, I've got one word for you- PRINCE. Oh, hell yeah. Some royal embroideries coming at ya soon!
What's the best thing you've thrifted lately?

Great finds Jacquie.....x
Awesome finds! That vintage sheet is amazing. I love that you make up your own words! ;)
Hey... I'm a sheet collector too, great for the beach! (More vintage pillowcases actually) cause I keep thinking I'll make something super cool out of them! And... they continue to pile up- hahah! Oh well. Last super finds while thrifting were cute gingham girls dresses for my girls! I blogged about em recently. I was going to sell them, but they fit so well. :D Happy Thursday!
Great finds!
Thanks, guys! The thrifting mojo was good that day:)
Nicky- I saw the pink and yellow ones? Those were so super cute, I wouldn't have been able to give them up either. I think I'll be holding on to that sheet for a while, it's too precious to cut into yet, lol.
