I was looking for some birdies yesterday. Finally found what I wanted, but also stopped in a thrift store and scored these wonderful fabrics:
Every piece in this picture is Waverly except the blue ticking. I was so excited to find these pieces. The one on the top left is actually a pair of curtains made by Waverly. They are tattered and faded -- all the better! The top right piece has the prettiest little roses on it. Great piece for covering a bench or for a pillow. The piece in the center has large handwriting in French. There were several strips of this fabric in the bag along with one large square. I have seen this fabric on pillows that cost a small fortune! Think I will be making one for moi! The cowboy themed fabric is something I am always on the lookout for -- Kim, we can share some of this! And the ticking is always appropriate for cowboy/cowgirl collages or altered books.
Here's my little flock of birdies. Way cute! Should I paint them a nice light ivory? Think I will do that to a couple of them and see how I like it.

Love your fabric finds! You are a thrift store diva!!
I shopped thrifts for a long tie looking for the floral fabric (topleft) and coordinating fabrics for th bedroom in a cabin we owned in CO. It was such fun! I love the hunter/gatherer in me.
The cowboy fabric was the lining for a red corduroy jacket my oldest son had about 16 years ago. I loved that little jacket.
