As promised, here is my newfound trims source. My good friend Mel of Purpleseamstress on ebay totally came through for me! She has a friend named Kim and the two of them shop the LA fabric district. (We are going to Disneyland in 3 weeks and we are meeting for sushi and fabric shopping! I don't know what I'm more excited for-Disneyland or shopping with Mel!) Anyway, Kim used to sell great trims on ebay but opened a physical store in California. Well, I contacted Melinda and told her to track down Kim for me and send me some trims! My supplies were seriously dwindling. I told her to send me $50 worth of trims. Well, they arrived the other day. For my $50 plus shipping, I got a flat rate box positively STUFFED with trims. Oh my goodness, it was like Christmas morning opening my stocking. The stocking is my favorite part, and I think it's because I like little things. So a box of trims made my day.
I contacted Kim and she is happy to work through Melinda and will send out either $25 or $50 boxes of trims. You will NOT be disappointed with either Kim or Melinda. They are both wonderful! If you would like to take advantage-contact Melinda here.
Do you absolutely LOVE this flower? I do, and sadly she only had one of them. So I am going to pair it with this vintage dress I found the other day for a truly special OOAK set. You will surely see more on it when it's done. :)
Hmm, what could I use trim for to justify buying it....
