I found this adorable vintage Linette floral tin. Its perfect. I am gushing over it hard. I paid $2.00. I am not sure what to keep in it yet. I am keeping in my bedroom. Its just so pretty.

I found another theormos. This one is from 1971 and is made by King-Seeley. This is a heavy one. It hold a pint of liquid. It's metal not plastic like my other ones. The top and the inside is all plastic and very very clean.

I found this full size fitted pink and purple floral sheet. Its very pink and very pretty. I was going to sell it in my Etsy shoppe and then I noticed it had a sewn mark and you can tell. There must have been a hole at one point and the previous owner sewed it together. Not very good either. Its just a small area, but it qualifies as scrap fabric now. I can see a few things being made from this. I really love the flowers and the color combo.

This must be a king size sheet. I am not sure. If it is I might not cut it apart like I was planning to.

I paid 25 cents for each of these fans. They are from the 60's. They are from Japan. They are vintage. They all open. There is very little flaws on them. The lady at the counter told me that she was in the back when they were marking those the other lady in the back told her to throw those away. That no one would buy them and they are junk. WHAT? I told the girl oh my, please please please, sell everything. Someone like me will come in and buy it. Just you wait. She said "Your PROOF". I told her I come to shop for myself, my house and my crafting supplies. So what others feel is junk is not really. Its someone elses taste, just not yours. Hopefully I filled her with knowledge and she will pass it around so others will not throw out what they think is "junk". Look at those fans. They are adorable. So not junk. Not to me anyhow.

I really do not even know what these are. They are pretty and aqua. Tiny small glass plates. I got all these thrifty items for $6.00. I love thrifty scores. I am going to gush over my tin some more. I am sure to think of something to put in there.

I found this vintage yellow thermos with lid. I also found a vintage Tupperware butter dish.

I found these two large vintage tin trays. They have mod 1960's prints on them. There is no marking on the back of them. There is .88 stamped in black on the back but I am thinking they may have been the price tag? They are very large.

I found another Aladdin Thermos. I have no idea why I like them so much but I do. I adore them and now I have 3. This is a large one. The others I found could fit in a lunch box.

Neighbor kitty looking for pet pet.

I found a vintage Barbie pattern. Yipee! I was excited to find this. I have been researching patterns all week and to find a vintage one locally. All the pieces are there and were cut but saved and kept in order. Its a Simplicity 8281 barbie clothing pattern. Its from the 70's. You could get Cher doll and make clothing for her too.

I found a WONDERFUL piece. Its a Celluloid Fan. Very vintage. I am not sure but this could be dated from early 1900's. I will have to do more research on them. Celluloid is my most favorite plastic to collect. I mean I go gaga for it. I think these are dyed ostrich feathers. Again I have to research more on them. I do know they are very collectible and they are expensive to purchase in an antique store.

I found two vintage scarves. The square pattern is a head scarf.

I found this adorable 1960's Mod apron. Its reversible and is just plain purple on the other side with this print on a pocket.

I found another vintage Aladin thermos! This one was brand new still with the sticker on it. I really love the mod print.

I found 2 pretty vintage scarves.

Vintage Star Wars Pillowcase that is going on my oldest son's bed.

Vintage Fieldcrest Mod floral sheets in black and bright colors. WOW! Very mod and so lovely they are still in their packages. These are going in my Etsy Shoppe. There is 2 fitted and 1 flat twin size. Maybe I should keep one and make something yummy from them?

I found this vintage umbrella. Its really cute. Very Vera like. But not Vera. I love the handle and the purple and yellow flowers.

I found this vintage bowl and plate set of Raggedy Ann and Andy. I do not collect Raggedy Ann and Andy anything. I do like her. I make dolls after her. But I am not into collecting her. Yet this set called me cause its from the 60's. But I am still not keeping it. This set will be in my Etsy shoppe.

I always see phones like this for sale. This one was cheap enough not to pass up. It works and has lots of long wall cord. I would have rather had a black or red one. So I think I shall craft this one up and make it more me. We have no land phone lines here. We use cell phones. Why have so many bills? We stopped using a land line 3 years ago when the hurricanes were coming threw here left and right. The cell phones were the only phones working during the storm. Not all the time tho. But when you can have internet and phone service when the power is out in your house, you become very happy and wonder what good is that land phone for? Not to mention free long distance. Today's future forces yesterdays leftovers into art.

I found a set of 4 cups and 1 mug of that "milk type looking glass". They have the same look as Pyrex, Fire King and Anchor Hocking. However they are none of those. They are called Termocrisa. They were made in Mexico. How cool is that they have made similar dishes. I like them. You can find a few on Ebay here. I hope to find more. I see some cute ones. These are red and blue. I personally think they say Christmas. (50 cents each)

I found this plastic napkin holder & this Aladdin Thermos. It has hardly been used. I am going to use this. I used to have one when I was a kid. You remember them don't you? Come peek over here. I used to have Charlie Brown/Peanuts and I had Holly Hobby. I need to ask my sisters what they had. I don't remember and now I am really interested in knowing, Pronto. I love that this one has a handle. I just love holding it. That I could just carry it with me anywhere and have something refreshing or soothing to drink/eat. They have the screw tight lids so you know nothing is escaping and the lid that turns into a handy little cup. And don't forget you can unscrew the bottom and clean that area out if needed or replace your cooling/heating unit/cup inside. Oh and that game box you see me stacking things on. That is actually a vintage game board that folds out and the inside part has all these little wood carved pieces. All of them there. This dates from the 1970's.

Now normally I am not an Avon collector. But this screams hello use me and I am super cute and only 50 cents you must take me home. So I did. I am going to clean it and use it. Its a hand pump. Its made of glass and has some weight to it. It very bright. Love in an instant.

I almost over looked these. They were stacked among a bunch of things and kinda almost just got lost. Almost. The yellow bowl is not that big its a Fire King bowl (25 cents) and the plate is pink Pyrex (50 cents) I also found a set of 4 wood carved floral napkin rings. Those are getting a make over.

Oh Yipee. I have not been thrifting in a while cause I am just too busy. I have been sewing away super woman like and painting away. I am going to offer a variety of crafts this year and I hope to get them all done. I think as a vendor you have this fear/panic that sets in a month before the show. You wonder if you will have enough. Did you make enough of the right things and did you offer all of your talents for sale? Some vendors I think have stock kept hidden away. Maybe they have stores or they just started making things way earlier than I? No way. I have OCD remember? haha I know I will have enough to show off I mean sell. HAHA. I am at the point of where I am running out of room to hide all my handmades. They will soon have to come out of hiding from around the house and into storage bins. There is lots I don't want to let go but must for the sake of Art and self Indulging in a little bit of OH YES...I made this.

Home school is going back into full swing on Monday. (did you hear the little one scream? lol) We have lots of reading and Science and History to learn. Oh yes. I think more field trips should be done this year. Visit some state parks. We have lots of historical and science things to do around here. We need to learn about history past and present. Maybe spark a future job for the little man. Oh wait he is in 8th grade. No more little man stuff. Shoot. I hate that they grow and get all teenager like. haha.
