Thrift Store Finds

Yay! Great vintage finds this week at the thrift!

I'm crazy about this red and whited checked

vintage blazer!

It fits me great, you can see it on me tomorrow.

And I found some cool white fabric 

and a splendid vintage twin sheet.

Both will be fab for future sewing projects!

Bye for now!

Rainbow Dancing

 I absolutely love rainbows and dancing,

so what could be better than the two together!

Enjoy!

Bye for now!

What I'm Working On

I'm working on square flowers from my 

flower loom.

I want to make a belt with them if possible.

Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

I'm so in love with my latest thrifted finds! 

I mean, check out the vintage craft book!

I've seen this on Ebay for lots of money

so I was so thrilled to see it at my thrift.

Plus, I got some yellow and some blue gingham fabric,

and some CUTE sandals! 

I just love the clog style bottoms.

Here is a close up of the craft book cover.

I think the illustration for this ad is fabulous!

 

And of course the colorful if somewhat cheesy 

craft projects.

This sun is amazing!

And there are always knit and crochet fashions.

I was especially amazed by the mod and space agey 

dresses with the yarn helmets and the fab tights!

Bye for now!

A New Day

Morning is such a peaceful time of day,

and for me and my hubby 

it's time to leisurely eat breakfast

and talk about things big and little.

We can look out our window and see the sun rise.

And light up the treehouse in the backyard 

till it's golden.

I also wanted to show a sweet pic I got today.

I spotted one of our bunnies tucked in a little bush.

Can you see him?

Bye for now.

Goodbye Barnabus

Goodbye to the wonderful actor, Jonathan Frid. 

He died last weekend at 87.

He brought the character of vampire Barnabus Collins to life (or death)

 in a way no other actor could. 

Dark Shadows will probably go down 

as my favorite tv show of all time.

It was the something I had to look forward to

every day after school,

and I couldn't wait to get home and watch it. 

And I don't think it would have been as compelling

without Mr. Frid.

He was the first to make vampires 

emotional and conflicted.

And he did it with style and grace.

Goody bye.

New in my shop is this Pretty Posh Pin 

in shades of yellow!

Yellow is one of my favorite colors

so I'd be wearing this one all the time!

 

I think is goes especially well 

with this belt!

Check it out in my Etsy store! 

Bye for now!

Early Morning Kitty Playtime

Just a little early morning workout for Smoke.

It combines his two favorite things:

hiding under a sheet and

 chasing a string!

 

When I see him like this

I just want to hug and kiss him!

 

Bye for now!

Posh Posie Pin: made by me

Thrift Store Finds

It was a great day at the thrift!

At the top left of the pic is a floral sheet I found

for my girls bed, for only $2!

Also, red and white gingham fabric,

embroidery hoops, vintage craft books,

and a vintage bag.

 

I just can't get enough vintage craft books!

I especially love the mushroom towel holder!

 

And check out those go go boots below!

  

This nifty bag had a few little marks on it

as you can see.

But I've already cleaned it up 

and they all disappeared, yay!

Bye for now!

Another Pretty Posh Posie

I have been working on more monochromatic colors

for my pins, 

and this is one I've done in springy green shades

with a touch of yellow.

It looks great with pastel colors.

 

But it also shines with brights and deep colors too!

 See it at my Esty shop!

Bye for now!

Posh Posie Pin

New in my shop: 

Purple, blue and green flower loom pin!

Hand loomed puple and green flowers

layered with hand cut felt that has been 

hand embroidered. 

Try it on the collar of a blouse.

 Or at the top of a scarf.

 It also looks so cute on a handbag! 

Check it out at my Etsy shop!

Bye for now!

Thrifty Finds

 Not too much to find at thrift,

but I found a few good things.

I was excited to find these navy sandals

that are like new, never worn.

And this neat little pamphlet with crochet patterns.

Bye for now!
