Thrift Store Finds

 Oooo, I finally found another Swiss chalet
at the thrift! It's so cute and it's a 
music box too!
And, I found some cute calico fabric
and some really fun shoes!
I've worn them a couple of times already,
and they are pretty comfy! 
They actually look washed out in this photo,
they are more of a chambray blue color.

Bye for now!

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!

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!

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!



Bye for now!

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!

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 ...
