Mum found a lovely hand stitched patchwork quilt, which is very shabby chic (our favourite at the moment) and very popular again.
As soon as Mum found it, we knew we was on to something very special indeed. So much work and love has gone into the quilt, it is simply lovely and we are very lucky to find it.
Not only was it a fabulous find by Mum and exactly what we wanted, we also got a complete bargain of the century!
First of all take a look...
The last photo is of Mum's bed, it is an odd thing to be jealous over, but I am jealous of her bed! Everything on it has been found, a mixture of Cath Kidston, vintage or second hand to complete the shabby chic look for less!
So back to the quilt and how much it was. Well, it was priced up as £5.00, which we were over the moon about, but the lady (in a charity shop) only charged us...
A POUND!
Yes a pound!! Can you imagine the smiles on our faces when we left that day. If we were to sell it then we could easily start it at £40 - £50 and up!
This has got the bargain of the year award written all over it!
Love it! Makes me want to go browse antique stores this weekend!

ReplyDeleteHoly canoli.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a deal!
Have you been to the festival of quilts at the NEC? Lots more examples of good quilting there - but nothing for anything near as cheap as a pound!
