Did I tell you the blinds in my craft room window
broke. They snapped in half one day when I went to open them.
I have this in the window now.

There are wonderful moments that enter in my craft room.
The morning light, lately the cool crisp air.
I leave the windows open so we can all enjoy the fresh
air. The cats love it too. It makes me think of
so many things. Like being thankful that this is
what I stare at for a living. This is my surroundings.
I enjoy it so much.

I am making a bunch of little dolls. They should be making
their appearance here very soon.

I finally completed my Vintage Gooseberry Pyrex Cinderella Bowls.
I have 3 of the larger yellow bowls in my Pyrex collection. I just need
to pick out the best one and display and use this set often.
When I walked into the thrift store, they had the whole set
there. Even the large bowl. I passed on that large 4 quart bowl since I have
3 already at home. I am still sticking to my buy only what you
need. I always say in my head oh you can sell it online or locally.
But that never happens. I am too lazy to lug any heavy Pyrex to my
craft shows. I also want to keep it once it crosses my front door
no matter how many I have.

The possibilities of not knowing what you are about to find
is just simply amazing for a thrifter like me. This thrift
store was just messy and needed careful eyes.

You have to get in there and move stuff around and hunt.

What I like to call, the ugly Pyrex.
I know some like this and have to have it.
For me. Nope. Pass. Very easy for me to pass.
I am and was laughing at that $15.00 thrift store price tag.
This one is a 4 quart.

Some people love and collect all Pyrex. I do not.
I left it there for the person who does!!

They wanted 10.00 for this Ivy Pyrex 4 quart bowl.
I was like ehh. So it stayed there.
Pretty, but not my type of Pyrex pattern.

I found this Hamilton Beach milkshake maker for 6 bucks.
It is not vintage.
It is the reproduction one.
But it looks vintage.
And it works. So of course I bought it.

I found a fat quarter of the yellow vintage feed sack fabric
and just a little square of the red.

I found 3 vintage utensils.
I am smitten over the fun retro graphics.

I found both of these vintage hand mixers in the same store.
I paid 1.50 for each of them. I love them.

I found this Spring blossom Split divided bowl with lid.
Perfect condition too.
I also found a small green child size suitcase.
I have restrained myself from buying suitcases.
These ones are easy to use and I have remake
plans. I just need a few more. I am patient.
I will find more.

I found two vintage hankies and a Vintage Vera green Color block scarf.

I has been a while since I thrifted. I was happy to find some
really wonderful treasures. Get out there and thrift!
Be patient. Keep going.

So there has been a whole bunch of items I have not shown you.
I am really bad at blogging while crafting and prepping for a show.
So I owe these photos to you.

I made these Barbie Statement Necklaces.
They are inspired from my
love of vintage retro Barbies.
The "frames" are actually pins/brooches.
You can take it off and wear it by itself and
if you have another brooch you can place it on the heart
and wear that as your statement necklace.
I am putting some in my Etsy shop.

I made these little Raggedy Ann dolls.

I am making this dolly into a pattern.
I made six of these dolls for my craft show and they
all sold. I thought I shown them off here. I guess I did not. I just reviewed
my past posts and I am not seeing them.
I get so busy with craft show crunch time.

I shall be making some for my Etsy Shop.
These dolls are 10 inches tall.
They have small everything. They are cute!!

I made a bunch of hair clips.
I need to make more of my recycled linen hair clips. I have 2 left.

I did make some brooches. I did not want to make them all
into necklaces.

I made a few rings too. I sold a bunch of the bow rings.

The other day I was watching tv (everybody loves raymond)
and look what I spied on the microwave.
Vintage Pyrex!!

I have a new pattern I just listed on Etsy.
It is Raggedy Andy & Andy.
This will come to you in your email as a PDF pattern.

I listed a few dolls in my Etsy Shop.

The doll above and below in these photos are bag keepers.

I guess I will just let the photos do the talking this time.
I was by myself so I really was not able to get around
much and take photos and video like I usually do.

This is one of the best shows shows to attend of the year.
If you love a mixture of Vintage and craft you must come next year.
There are so many vendors with so much to tempt you with.

I had so much fun. Thank you for coming out to support
your local crafty scene. I appreciate all that you do for us.

I will not be at another craft show until maybe May. I am
not sure what my plans are. I was going to not
do any show until October for Stitch Rock 2012.
I promise to let you know if I am going to vend at ART ROCK in May.

I have listed a few handmade goodies I made for the show in my Etsy shop.
