Vintage Finds

A good friend of mine and I have been going around hitting the flea markets and thrift stores the past few months. We have found alot of really cool "finds". I thought it was time to share some of my goody's.






On this shelf you will see my old canning jars of Vintage buttons. My friend (which I will not mention her name) and I were chatting one day and she commented she needed some buttons, not knowing I was on eBay...Joking I said I could win us some buttons. I bid 50c over the other bid. Not expecting to win...but YES I did, I am now the PROUD owner of 12lbs. of buttons from an Estate. I also love Valentine's, said friend also graced me with the beautiful Vintage Valentine's, a couple she made me. The Heart Pillows I made along with the quilt square with my Vintage Buttons on it.



We were at O'Fallon Thrift store, O'Fallon, Illinois. We found this wonderful Vintage Lamp. The jar is one of the Old Blue Ball canning jars with the metal canning lid. The lid has the lamp unit inserted into it...I love it setting on top of my sewing machine cabinet. It is full of wonderful Vintage Buttons




This beautiful basket was my Grandma's. I can remember it sitting by her machine and by her chair when she was darning or sewing something. The Vintage sewing items I found in O'Fallon also.






I love finding old embroidery floss...there is Coat's and Clark, several different brands that I had never heard of. That basket is full of all colors of threads.

I found these Vintage Embroidery Floss at the St. Clair Antique Mall, in St. Clair, Illinois.

I love these "shabby" vintage flowers...they look so beautiful sitting on my sewing cabinet.

I love this little tea pot. On the lid there is a little tea pot, a cup and saucer, and a saucer with a wedge of pie. I also found the Vintage table runner, Its so pretty.

Thanks for looking,

What A Wonderful Easter We Had.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter. My family did, attended a awesome service at our church. Then spent time on both sides of the family.

We were able to spend time with Chuck's Great Nephew and his little cousin. Devin and Jacob are two beautiful baby boy's.

Devin (8 months) Jacob (5 months)

I see some CUTE scrapbook pages with these LITTLE CUTIE'S pictures on them. I found out that I can still rock little ones to sleep. I was honored to rock Jacob to sleep.

I must of been a good girl, (picture of me and Easter Bunny was taken at work). I received an Easter Basket full of Easter stickers, Spring stickers, Wonderful Ribbons, some very colorful material, beaded fringe, and some wooden spools. I can't wait to dig in...I love NEW things for my crafts, etc. OHHHHH I almost forgot the chipboard letters.

I will be adding a new slide show tomorrow, can't wait to show you all the WONDERFUL new finds that I have....material, chipboard letters, ribbons, lace, scrapbook retreat door prize that I won....oh so many wonderful things.

Please go to Paula's blog and check out the WONDERFUL Blogger Ball she is going to host this Saturday, March 29, 2008 from 6-12:00.

Thanks, In His Name,

Debbie
