I've got the flowers.
The edging.
Yards of trim.
The inspiration.
And a book with patterns and detailed instructions.
At last I think I'm able to pursue the career I've long dreamed of: professional milliner.
p.s. All of these items came from an estate sale today. And I suspect that like so many other of my career ideas, this one will remain largely a fantasy!
How exciting. Keep us up to date with your progress. I love the look of the vintage book!

Ah maybe the hats in that world are the best! I couldn't go to the car boot sale this morning due to rain. So I slept in again and I dreamt that my neighbor found such exciting stuff ( I didn't realize that we were on the sale already). She had a folder filled with vintage Valentine cards for 50 cents. Better than any cards I have ever seen. In your dreams baby!

I too have several fantasy careers although it looks like you're further ahead than I am on your career path, having collected the tools of your trade. AND detailed instructions.

Never, Never, NEVER would all of this be at an estate sale, garage sale, or thrift store in my area! I am so jealous! Please make something wonderful so I can live vicariously through you....
