I Buy Random Things - 1840s Antique Blouse & Cape


Here I am again, attempting to blog. Ideally this blog will revolve around all things sewing and crafting, in an attempt to document and keep track of the things I create and the things I collect. Welcome!

The story goes like this: In the summer of 2008, my grandfather and I went to a treasure trove of an auction. Former antique dealers were selling everything - and I scored this amazing antique cape and blouse from the 1840s to the tune of $10. I was one of just two bidders. Let's just say a lot of bargains went down that day, poor sellers!
