Annual treasure hunt

I'd love to wear this dress, but sadly it's too small...

Pretty sure they never finished this one...


Im pretty sure that jacket was my uncles. It's still hilarious:P Almost so ugly it's cool!


This dress is so short that its too short to be worn, even with model legs and tights!
I like the fabric and the pattern, but the neck is just screaming "grandma", with a little rounder and lower neck it would be a nicer summer dress.

I love houses filled with old stuff. Everytime I discover something new, even though I've been there a thousand times. My grandparents are quite organized, but they hate to throw stuff away so they put it all up in the attic. With three daughters that loved to make clothes they've got a lot of hidden treasures up there. Many who I've found, many who are yet to be discovered.
Anyway, I'm going up there this week to see if I find some new stuff. With two aunts and a mum that were practically size zero its not likely I'll find anything that fits me very well. But there's a lot of fantastic fabric and also inspiration to be found!
I'm gonna post some of the stuff I found last year. I haven't really used any of the stuff in the pictures, but I have some other stuff I found that actually fits me in my closet in England:D
