Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Velvet
I am a few days behind schedule, but there is still enough time to share this reminder…Show us your Velvet!
What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book?
The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book is a monthly series hosted by Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style and myself. Every month, we invite you to share a photo or two of your Good (or Bad) Buy items that fit the stated theme. We ask that you also provide a short description explaining if the item you are sharing was a Good Buy or one that you will be saying Good-Bye to (formerly known as Bad Buys). Nancy and I will both publish a round up post featuring all of the submissions on the 15th of each month.
Remember anyone who would like to participate and be featured can send us their photos with a brief description via email. You do not have to be a blogger to join. You just need a camera and an email address! We will give you the theme for the next month at the conclusion of each post.
With that, you are invited to join us in November to share your favorite (or least favorite) things made of Velvet. All you have to do is snap a photo or two of your Velvet and email us so you can be featured in our Good Buy/Good-Bye Book.
I have had a lifelong love affair with velvet that began when I was 12 years old. For Christmas 1986, my mother surprised me with an emerald green velvet quilt that she made right in front of my eyes. As she toiled away at her sewing machine all through that summer and autumn, she convinced me it was a wedding gift for someone. But she was making it for me! My mom was thoughtful and tricky that way and that green velvet quilt inspired my lifelong love for velvet. Decades later and my closet has a fairly healthy spattering of velvet. Check out the last five years of my velvet things.

If you would like to share your Velvet things with us, please send your photos and descriptions to shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com or to info@nancysfashionstyle.com by the 10th of November so we can put you in the spotlight. You are welcome to send two photos if you’d like to be featured on both blogs.

Keeping it on the edge,

Oh, my gosh! You have the best velvets! I love it, too, but don’t have very much these days. I find it hard to find really good velvet. It’s all that cheap stuff. I will try to find a photo to send!

Thanks, Marsha! I have even more velvet but I only went back to 2020 on my blog. I will have dig up something older to share in the post on the 15th. I look forward to seeing your velvet!
