This year's Madison-Bouckville Antique Week has been the best ever, in my book: good times meeting up with Gina, good finds and good prices. I had a pretty specific shopping list, and of course, feedsack was on it. Not plentiful, and not easy to find, but pretty.
I picked up buttons wherever I found them inexpensively, and I was a little surprised how many I found tucked in my bag at the end of the day.
This butterfly is a bit of an illusion. It's not appliqued onto the feedsack underneath.
And best of all? The week's not over yet. And you haven't seen the sweetest feedsack creation ever ... but here's a little bit of it.
I am glad to hear (and see ) that you are doing so well at Madison - Bouckville this year.I have been there too and I have gotten so many wonderful things. What fun ... with 3 more days to go ! Wahoo !

Lucky you! I've always wanted to go to M/B after driving through it one the way to the Adirondacks. I had no idea something like that existed! My mouth hung open for miles! Lucky you!

I'm so sad I can't go to Bouckville this year. :( Going on family camping trip instead. :) Hope you find lots of good stuff.
