Thrifting Treasures!

I had a perfectly wonderful day today as my friend Trudy and I started out along with my 10yro daughter on a little road trip. It was our plan to hit a couple of quilt shops and of course we had to hit at least one thrift store and that's exactly what we did......

.....but first I have to show you the cute little aqua colored sewing box I got last week at the thrift store. Isn't it cool!

....and then today I found a cute little vintage jewelry box. I've seen people using these to organize their sewing items, so I think I'll give it a whirl and this one I think will be great for holding filled bobbins......

....then I found a baggie all stapled up with some needlepoint pieces in it. I could see the florals, but not the dogs. Someone did a really nice job on these. I just gotta figure out what to do with the dogs.........

...and in that baggie was this beautiful rose needlepoint canvas (from France) just waiting for someone to stitch it up--Me! Not bad for a baggie full and only .50 for all of these pieces!.....

...an itty bitty walnut to go amongst the fall decor and this really cool toile printed on plain brown paper......

.....a few rolls of wall paper that I'm collecting up to put in my hopefully someday soon to be shabby rose sewing room. It's a good start anyway.........

....and then a whole roll of a darling doll wall paper border, that I have no idea what I'll do with, but had to have, because I know I'll find something to do with it and for .50 couldn't pass up. If you click on the image it will come up nice and big, so you can save it if you'd like. I scanned it, so it should be quite useable.

And of course I found lots of awesome fabrics at the quilt shops, but they'll have to wait til I have some serious pennies to spend.

We had a wonderful day and wonderful treasures!
