Daily Dose of Cute

How sweet is this little bunny toothpick holder?  So teeny, so white.  I *almost* threw this out by accident yesterday because it was wrapped in a piece of white paper with other larger and heavier items.  Yet another reason to unwrap and wash/list/put away your thrift finds within a reasonable timeframe after purchase- less chance of forgetting what you bought!

As you can see, we still have power.  Woohoo!  The storm hasn't quite made its way to our neck of the woods yet, though.  We are getting ready to go on a family walk through the neighborhood to burn off a little energy and try to ward off cabin fever.  We shall see what tonight brings.  Donna, thank you for thinking of us- you are the best!!

Friday's Favorite Fabric Finds

I've been on a fabric buying spree since I returned from vacation!  These are just a few of the *new* sheet designs coming to sosovintage in the next few days.

Gorgeous white cherry blossom branches on aqua

I had this in blue at one point, and I have it in yellow.  The pink is by far my favorite- surprise!
~*~
Really bright and bold varied width stripes in green and blues
~*~
I have this in the blue colorway.  Love the orange and yellow combo!

Wow, there is a LOT going on in this fabric!  Flowers and dots and gingham- oh my!

I know it sounds silly, but I really don't like to buy fitted sheets because they are too hard to fold nicely.  I made an exception for this pattern, though.  These colorful bouquets are beautiful!

We are currently bracing for Hurricane Irene, and doing our best to stock up on necessary supplies.  If I'm not blogging this weekend, you'll know that our power is out.  The worst of it will be Saturday night, but we never know how long we'll be out of commission.  Our neighborhood has it's own water supply, so we should be able to flush toilets and take cold showers.  We just have our fingers crossed that the winds don't cause any of our towering trees to come crashing down on the roof or cars.  We'll be sleeping downstairs for sure!  I'll be back with the scoop as soon as I can.  If you are also in the path of the storm, stay safe!
