Finds Of The Day…

I popped into a few thrift shops today while out and about. It certainly pays to check in…and often. One day there’s nothing…the next day you could score big time. It you know what you are looking for, it just takes a minute to look for new things.

Sally Ann had a great linen table cloth….for .99cents! No stains or anything.

Value Village had a great selection of old pillowcases and sheets. These remind me of the bedding I grew up with! No quite sure what I’ll do with them yet…just thought they were fun. Most were .99cents each.

They also had these cute little oval dishes from Buffalo China. 4@ .99cents each. Right now I think I’ll use them in my craft room to hold odds and ends.

Our “Little” Canuck

PDRM1679_edited-1 Sully is officially a Barrie Canuck! First game was tonight so we all headed out to watch. Although we lost 2-0, he put out a fantastic effort and got right in there! Way to go Sully.

Pinky!

I've been following several blogs of those that have traveled to Spokane Washington to either go to or be in the Farm Chicks show. I think I've mentioned the Farm Chicks before. They put on shows in the northwest a couple of times a year, have a great website and store as well. I believe they have written books and I have seen them recently in Country Living. It's the kind of thing I would love to visit if they were just a little bit closer.
Anyway, Camp Whimsy put out a blog post suggesting where to go and what to see while in Spokane. This pic is from an awesome looking place called Chaps. I'm LOVING this buffet painted pink and really roughed up! I think somewhere I'm going to have to start a pink room...I have seen so many cute things lately.

Happy Monday morning!

Found some cute things at a cute little website here.

Ever since I have been working on my aprons, they are just popping out of the wood work. Were they always there and I just didn't notice?

So many cute patters and fabrics.....love it.

And check out these lovely little handbags. I especially love the ruffly one, but can't imagine having it in white!

Tie One On!


Okay...I can take no credit for this idea. It was my brilliant partner in crime....Darlene. She found the idea in a " how do be crafty while recycling" book she recently picked up. I can' wait for her to get hers finished so I can post a pic for you....I'm sure they will be totally different than mine.

You simple use an old, man's shirt ( not OLD MAN'S shirt), remove the sleeves...which then become the ties. Remove the collar, which gets turned around and used for the waist band. I removed the pocket and lowered it. Then I added some vintage trim I picked up a while back. Voila...that's it...cute huh?

Stay tuned....I had so much fun, I think I need to try some more!
