Of my own "buys" I have fabric from the early 1980s, I have some "vintage" finds from the 1960s and 1970s. I also have a lot of linens, laces and embroidery pieces from my Nan and Great Gran, probably 1920/30s. I plan on cutting up a lot of the linens as there are some embroideries/lace worth salvaging, though some of the sections have stains/tears or are damaged beyond reasonable repair.
