Estate Sale Heaven

I have been so busy since I last posted. I hit a fantastic Estate sale and thought I was in Heaven.  Here are a few of the goodies I picked up.
The photo on the left is a beautiful black and white silk material with roses and a peacock sort of motif that I found lying in the garage.  I thought it was just a very long beautiful scarf.  The lighting was very poor and I couldn't see well. When I got it home, I found out that it wasn't a scarf but 7 yds of fabric. I will probably make several scarves, keeping one and selling the others on Etsy.
The photo on the right is of a beautiful dress from the 1940's probably. I know that you can't see all of the detail properly the way it is displayed, but trust me, it is gorgeous.  I haven't decided if I will keep it or sell it. One thing is for sure though, whoever wears it should wear a nice full slip under it unless they want to be called a hussy...lol!
