Who loves a good mystery??? You do??? Well, I have over 20 mystery boxes listed!
I always get in the mood to clean out cluttered spaces when autumn approaches and this year is no different! I have been going through about 25 years worth of supplies from collecting, crafting, doll making, Santa and snowman making, hand sewing, quilt making, pincushion making, folk art creating.... you know me, I have to try a little of everything!
All of these boxes will be crammed so full I will have to hold them shut and tape them before they pop open! I am a saver and a scrapper and a hoarder... uhhh, I mean... a collector! I have fabric that ranges from small scraps to yardage. I have vintage pieces, vintage linens, stained or torn linens that a folk artist certainly wouldn't pass up! We folk artists always think of dyeing or ageing or staining a piece, anyway!
There are so many types and sizes of fabrics that I gave up on organizing them in any category. Each box contains a mix of fabrics and colors. I will try to describe a few pieces I see in each photo.
If you wish to purchase more than one box, please let me know and I will see if shipping is cheaper in one larger box via regular priority mail.
Types of NEW, VINTAGE, and RECYCLED fabrics your box may contain:
cotton
linen
silk
rayon
moire
damask
wool
felt
batting
buckram
cutter quilt pieces
trims
lace
upholstery samples
a few linen, silk, and cotton blouses (I often recycle these for the fabrics for doll costumes, pincushions, etc.)
vintage linens (tablecloths, napkins, hankies, etc.) that may have stains or spots or damage
Sizes may run from a few inches to larger scraps and even yardage.
Collections will vary. Please refer to photos for each box.
All but three of these are in LARGE, FLAT RATE BOXES. Each box weighs a few pounds, so this was the easiest and in most cases, most economical.
Boxes #1 - #21 are $10 per box plus $18.75 large flat rate shipping.
Box #22 is $5 plus $6.45 flat rate envelope shipping.
Box #23 is $20 plus $13.35 medium rate shipping.
Box #24 is $20 plus shipping to your zip.
