This Little Pony

 This week I have another vintage kids book

from my childhood collection.

It's "This Little Pony"

and is illustrated by ROFry

just like last weeks book.

 Love these bunnies!

 And of course, the pony is

adorable!

Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

 Just a few things to show 

from the thrift this week.

 Some great fall fabrics,

a fun skirt pattern

and a cute little plastic deer!

 Not too bad!

 Bye for now!

Summer is Almost Over

 You know summer is almost over

when the school supplies start to accumulate.

I was struck by how pretty they were this year,

all rainbow colors!

And we dazzled up her locker mirror with glitter

to make it extra special.

 Of course, until school starts

there are still a few lazy summer 

afternoons to nap with the kitty!

 Or pretend to nap.

Bye for now!

An adorable trivet!

Fluffy and the Flyaway Fly

 This is another book from my childhood

illustrated by ROFry.

 It has sort of a dreamy quality to the pictures I think.

 And I would love to have this

chicken coop on wheels!

Thrift Store Finds

 This trip I found two great vintage patterns

I especially love the one above 

with that boat neck!

 And I found some teeny tiny animals!

 And two embroidery projects,

this first is from Denmark

and it's cross stitch,

which I've never done before.

 The yarn looks so yummy!

 The second is a vintage pillow kit.

 For this flower wreath.

Bye for now!

More Thrift Store Finds

 Here are even more thrifted goodies,

including two pair of shoes!

I can't wait for fall to wear these!

 And some black corduroy 

and white cotton fabric.

 No, this isn't from the thrift!

Smoke was watching me take pix.

You can see my latest read here too,

called, "A Discovery of Witches".

I love it!

Can't wait to read the next book in the series!

Bye for now!

Thrift Store Finds

 Lots of crafty goods 

at the thrift!

Some denim and corduroy fabric,

great for the fall.

Also a fabric marking tool,

cross stitch pattern book,

and embroidery kit.

 This kit looks like it should be really fun and quick to do!

I just love her skirt!

 And I find the patterns in the book really

inspiring for all kinds of things,

not just cross stitch.

Bye for now!

Fawn Baby

 My latest vintage book is

one from my childhood,
called "Fawn Baby".

The illustrations are by Robert J. Lee

and I think that they are just fabulous!

 I love the owl!

 And see how dainty and beautiful the fawn is!

 Mr. Lee's artwork is so inspiring!

Bye for now!
