I was sitting here thinking, well, maybe I can do a post on being thrifty since I didn't find anything this week...oops, yes I did. ;D
I had to take Sunshine for her last day of summer school this week, so I did some "piddlin' around". Just me, the truck and a very small amount of cash. I wandered into a consignment shop that I'd seen for ages, but not be in to so this was my chance. She had some lovely stuff and we had a good talk also. Small business, banks and what this administration is trying to do to them. I picked up these two lovelies. A toile sewing....bag? Stand? What DO we call them? I think I paid $5 for it. I found a larger one at another shop that I'll try to get this week. I figured out how to change out the fabric on it. We're talking ugly 60s....but I love this one.
And I found this pretty little pic for our bedroom.....$3? I spent $8 so maybe they were both $4...
Just realized how bad that picture of the picture is ;D Sorry.
So cruise on over to Rhoda's and check out her goodies. http://southernhospitalityblog.com/yardsaling-in-mountain-brook-jackpot/

I love the sewing? The fabric is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose are both really pretty. I remember my grandmother had a bag like that and she kept her yarn and knitting projects in it. That picture is really pretty! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI like the first thingamajigger - that's a gorgeous pattern!
ReplyDeleteAnything toile is good, and that sewing bag is no exception...it's gorgeous! And that little picture is cute too. I want the chair in it! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteI love that toile and blue is soooo nice - I'd say you did great ! I love your picture of a picture - sometimes it is hard to get a picture with glass - I can see it is lovely !

I like your little sewing basket, Susie Q! Not gaudy at all like the rest of the 60's. I remember a friend's mom having one- She placed it by her chair in the living room and watched tv and knitted.
ReplyDeleteWill you believe I have the Lanarte kit to stitch the flowers on the chair? it's the exact same design !!! amazing ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!

ReplyDeleteLove your picture! I have the same one in my kitchen. I received mine for a wedding present. I think it may have came from Avon but not sure...
