Estate Sale Finds


 I hadn't been to an estate sale in awhile,
but this is a good time of year for them.
This wasn't the best one I've ever been too, 
but I did find some crochet thread and vintage felt.
Still can't find the elusive ric rac or embroidered ribbon, though!

Is there something you've been searching for unsuccessfully?
Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

 Made it to the thrift store this week 
and found some fun things.
I found a plaid skirt that just needs 
some alterations, 
some calico fabric
and lastly this great vintage mushroom spoonrest!
I really needed one for my stove!

Find anything great at the thrift lately?
Bye for now!

Mid Century Mod Linen


I realized the other day, 
that I have never really taken any good pix
of a lovely vintage linen wall hanging
that I found at the thrift some time ago.
It's such I beauty I had to share!
 

There is a signature at the bottom,
but I don't know what it says,
does anyone have any ideas?
Bye for now!

Thrifty Finds


 Finally got to do some thrifting again,
the pickings have been slim for crafty items lately.
Did find this amazing 70s sewing pattern though,
and a nice hanger I can crochet a cover for.
Just need to get my sewing machine fixed first,
oh well!
Have you found any good thrift finds lately?


Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

 Found a bit more yarn at the thrift,
including some soft yellow cotton!
 And a cute pattern for a shirt diress,
don't love the fabric they used, but I love the pocket detail.
Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

 I finally got to the thrift,
and I was so happy to find some
cotton crochet thread in lovely spring colors!
 And this cropped jean jacket! 
I've been searching for one that
is short enough for my short waist! 

Bye for now!

Thrifted Felt

 I haven't done much thrifting lately,
but because there are often vintage Christmas
craft kits this time of year, 
I have found some really great felt!

Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

 Aren't these two adorable?
I found these vintage wooden ornies at the thrift for 40 cents each!
And I was able to add to my 12 days of  Christmas glassware
at just 70 cents apiece!
Now I have six all together.



I think they are just lovely!
Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

 They've started to put out Christmas at my thrift,
so I found this great roll of vintage ribbon 
and some red yarn for holiday crocheting!
I also bought a vintage record because I couldn't 
resist the cover!
 I love this kind of artwork,
especially the groovy Santa!
Bye for now!

Vintage Craft Book Score!

 I almost passed up this vintage craft book 
when I saw the cover art,
but the title grabbed me since I love applique.
I'm glad I looked inside, 
just take a look at some examples....




Well worth the 99 cents!
Bye for now!

 While I haven't been too lucky at the thrift store lately,
I did get to an estate sale last weekend,
and I found these cute vintage Christmas ornies.
I think they will be perfect for my red and green tree!
 I especially love the boot and the cottage!

Still in a Christmas and winter mood with my art, and still working on my technique with gouache. It's a much trickier medium than I ...
