my new old love affair
i finally got a new camera (sony cybershot dsc-h12) which takes amazing macro shots, (too bad i didn’t figure that part out till i got home)…anyway shooting again tomorrow to tighten up the pics will fine tune it i pray, so i can finally finish this article about the fleas…but the best part was that it brought me back to my favorite place in new york, my #1 most fun: the fleamarkets!! now if i could only sit and write without distraction…
I could have covered the world in fabric today! crazy gorgeous, affordable textiles from the 1600 and 1700′s. did i want to buy these? more than anything!

What keeps the old fabrics from dry rotting? I’ve had pieces from the ’40′s you couldn’t even use. I guess maybe the weave was better?
Beautiful photo Claudia.

Fabulous. I am looking for vintage fabric in big quantities Do you know where I can find some. I am trying to not buy new fabric for my curtains you know I am trying to be more environmentally conscious. So far none of the organic fabrics I’ve seen out there pleased me. Any suggestion anyone?

Enjoy…OH and congrats on the new camera…I have a great digital…however, I haven’t learned to post pics as of yet…but I’m going to!!
