Hi!

I'm able to use a client's computer all week, so hopefully I can play catch up on this blog and on blog reading.
Whew! It's exhausting!

I posted a new theme for my purse challenge today, and a killer prize too, so check it out.

For now I think I'll just show a cute vintage children's cookbook I picked up on ebay.
The illustrations are precious.
The book was published in 1952.



Here are some of the images associated with certain recipes:
Dicky Dog's Hot Cocoa Special


Pixie's Marshmallow Delight


Kitten Kitten's Snickerdoodle Cream


Ronny Rooster's Sugar Toast

In the mood...

Calamity Kim posted one of these vintage mood barometers recently.
In my typical impulse fashion, I HAD to have one for myself,
so I bought one on eBay.

Isn't it fun?!

EBay has made some changes recently that I'm not crazy about.
I really need to wean myself off the site.
But...

While I was at it, I picked up this "Bazaar Boutique Items" pattern, dated 1966.


The items are all identified on my Flickr page.
I love finding vintage accessories patterns like this.

Vintage fun

I recently purchased this cute embroidered floursack towel on ebay.
I thought the design might be an old Vogart embroidery pattern, but I haven't been able to determine which design number.

My mom says it reminds her of an old French chef cookie jar she had in the 60's or maybe even the 50's.

I'm pretty sure the embroidery design is old, but I'm not sure how old the work is.
All I know is that I think it's adorable!
Kind-of matches the carrots I recently posted.

I have decided to go back to incorporating my thrifting and ebay finds onto this blog,
and am going to stop the Secondhand Swag blog.

Too many blogs, too little time...

And I get the most traffic here.
So there you go.

Yay to being back online!!!!!
