Have you ever walked into a store and saw something you had to have?
Only to walk away with regrets?
That's what happened yesterday when I went antiquing with a GF.
I ran across this Gorgeous Vintage Wedding Dress.
Not just an ordinary wedding dress. This one is not from the U.S.
I'm thinking it may have come from the orient or perhaps the Middle East.
It was WAY out of my price range!!!!
I left the store saddened and empty handed.
Driving all the way home I thought how could I ever afford it?
Then it hit me....
What if I were to offer up pieces of it to my blog friends!!!
That way you could share in my find and use it in your art too.
After I got home I told my hubby
and he said you had better go back and get it now. So we did!!!!!
I will sell pieces for $6.00 a square foot with FREE shipping in the U.S.
I will ship out of the country but would need to charge for actual shipping.
You could use it as is or cut out all the gorgeous appliques.
The hours it must have took to put this together... hand stitching all those beads,
sequins and pink flower clusters.
So if your interested shoot me an email to work out payment arrangements.
There is a limited supply so don't wait, its first come
Of course I can sell larger pieces. I won't cut any until an order is placed.
This is a vintage piece so their may be
some small holes in the backing here and there.
Sorry all the lace is now spoken for.
Thank you to all who ordered some and just wait till you see it in person.
Its GORGEOUS!!!!
On another note my Dear friend Debbie.
One of our Designing Divas members made each of the girls
this sweet decorated Chinese take out box.
and inside this Darling altered Cherub in a tin. Isn't she clever.
She used part of a scrabble holder as the base.
Thank You Debbie for your Sweet Valentine

So glad you went back...it would come to haunt you. Been there done that and I think it is a great idea to share it. It is lovely. Have fun, I can't wait to see what you end up doing with what you keep.
Your wedding remnants are gorgeous. I am voting for India? maybe??
I also love your sweet cherub project too!
I would like one piece Lynn. It will be lovely having part of that beautiful thing. Yes, I've walked away and wished that I hadn't. Diane

Great idea to share that beautiful lace to help defray the cost. My hubby would have shrugged his shoulders. He doesn't get it. It looks gorgeous.
So sorry I am too late. Great idea Lynn!

The dress is exquisite and exotic, maybe from a princess wedding! A tresor to behold. xo Pam
To buy or not to buy. Most often the answer is "buy" before someone else does. You made a good choice.
Well I was just going to tell you to save me some, but that is OK! I am glad you got what you wanted and were able to find a way to please yourself and others! Very clever!! Very sweet little V-Day gift! Enjoy your day! Hugs!
I'm so glad you scooped it up! I hope you'll have a linky list or collection somehow showing all the different creative ways it's been used... it sure is gorgeous!
Hi Lynn! What a wonderful idea you got! :-)
Very beautiful dress!
