Yay to strange Victorian Items with no discernable use. Please do blog them! And antimaccassars to you too :-).
Stash diets. Oh nooooooo!
I am on a bit of a stash diet. Except for lovely fine linen for shirts and chemises, (I have actually run out, and there is Regency frocking for a weekend game in my future) and Mulberry Silks for embroidery inspiration.
But I resisted burnt orange and rust striped 100% silk taffeta for a fiver a metre yesterday, which I am very proud about! As my normal fabric purchase is enough for a period frock (so ten metres) the lady in the shop was quite disappointed.
