The Stuff: This time the loot comes from my favorite thrift shop, non-sale day.  Prices here are relatively high for sheets and larger breakables.  Relatively low for small items.  They do not seem to charge more for *vintage*.  Here's what I walked out with this week:

~*~

 pansy bath towel

~*~

 hand towel

~*~

 3 pillowcases

~*~

 Vera napkins

~*~

 More Vera napkins

 These were all sold separately.  Japan donkey, Garfield small planter, box of curtain tieback pins, box of pink Gibson notecards, vintage Old Maid card game, handpainted diaper pin set

~*~

 This was sold together in one of those famous bags.  Yes, I DID buy it for the FOXY patch.

~*~

A dozen "woven" plastic napkin rings

~*~

There you have it, folks!  A nice haul of goodies if I do say so myself.  Let the game begin!

Friday's Favorite Fabric Finds

Whoa- this week F*L*E*W by!  The presents are wrapped, the house is as clean as it's going to get, and the smell of freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip coconut cookies is about to start filling the kitchen.  In honor of my favorite time of year, I decided to share the new vintage fabrics in my very favorite color: PINK!

~*~

I haven't had this one for awhile- I just love the all-over color!

~*~

Pink daisies of the more subtle variety.

~*~

This one is just crazy!  Reminds me of a shark or an ekg.

~*~

Wow- light and dark pink varied width stripes!

~*~

And the one I like the best this week- pretty pink bouquets with violet bows.

~*~

Wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons!  If I don't see you before Christmas, I hope your day is merry and bright :)

Friday's Favorite Fabric Finds

TGIF!!  It's been a geometric sort of week around here... take a peek at the latest sheet finds for sosovintage:

~*~

Classic stripe in lime, white and avocado.

~*~

Bright red polka dots on white.  Wouldn't this make a sweet holiday project with the fabric above it?

~*~

I KNOW!  I couldn't believe it either!  Two polka dot fabrics in one week.  I love the dual sizes and shades on this one.

~*~

If you like a little more swagger in your line-iness, this Yves St. Laurent pink and rust mix is sure to please.

~*~

And my favorite of the week- mod teardrops in violet, aqua, grass green and more!  Ooh la la.

~*~

Sending lots of hugs and well wishes to my special friend and her daughter who are off to London today for a very big week.  And to all of you who are kind enough to stop by and give your attention to my little snippet of cyberspace - thank you, I appreciate you, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
