pretty pink flanellette

The Lions Opportunity Shop in Main Street Mordialloc currently has a few bundles of pretty pink printed flanellette fabric, all brand new and ready to go. There looks like there is enough in each bundle for a pair of kid's PJs or perhaps some winter wraps for a baby.

This store also has a good selection of buttons. Some of them on cards, others sealed up in jars ($4.00 per jar).

I bought two jars yesterday and was thrilled to find some really good bakelite buttons inside. Hopefully some of the remaining jars will have such hidden treasures inside too.
