I stopped at the Goodwill in McHenry yesterday. Lately, they haven't had a lot of items. I was pleasantly surprised to see the store overflowing with items. It seems that they have gotten a lot of donations, even some estate sales have donated items. I found a miniature green lady figure for 49 cents and 3 Vera Neumann scarfs for $1.99 each. I love finding Vera items. I usually look for her tablecloths or napkins. They will have her name, Vera, on it followed by a ladybug. I haven't looked for her scarfs, but found these 3 while just walking past the rack holding them. I caught her name out of the corner of my eye. It was a nice surprise! The company is no longer in business. Her designs are usually bright and eye catching.
I worked on getting the bed in my guest room ready for the summer weather. I found a chenille hand embroidered coverlet at a garage sale a few years back for $3, and finally put it on the bed. I always use hand embroidered pillowcases on the bed that I change with the seasons. The 2 pillows on the bed, I made with vintage fabric and one is from an old chenille bedspread that had holes in it. I made the bedskirt many years ago using a flat sheet and then sewed on vintage handkerchiefs. It turned out nicely and it's a great way to display my handkerchief collection.
