Thrifting with a Theme

I'm so glad spring is finally arriving and the weather is nice most days. My hubby can play golf in shorts!!

To me, spring means GARAGE SALES!!  Estate sales and thrift stores are year-round, but garage sales tend to happen in the spring and summer. I'm sure its the same everywhere, but I'm just giddy with the thought of garage sales!

Most every time I say something about garage sales my hubby says "well, who's selling their garage and why do you want to buy it?" Ha! He's such a card -- he needs to be on that golf course!

BUT, have you ever gone to a estate sale or garage sale or thrift store and everything you bought followed a theme? That's what I realized when I got my treasures home -- it was a sewing theme.

A few patterns


This one is very cool in the sleeveless version and I love the fact that the model is wearing tennis shoes!
and is that a man's tie I see around her waist?!!



This pattern is pretty crazy and I would feel silly wearing it, but for the right person it would be awesome!
I dunno about those pants though....


Now on to the really cute stuff!


This adorable kitty string holder with its pretty blue and pink flowers



Who wouldn't love that sweet face!



A cutie mouse pin cushion and thimble



The thimble has a home on her tail!!



And this sweet tea pot shaped like a sewing machine!



Reminds me of my mother's sewing machine!  
When she was teaching me how to sew, I had to stitch on a sheet --
seam after seam to practice stitching in a straight line!
Totally boring -- I wanted to sew something!!


Aren't they all the cutest?!!
They'll be in my shop soon, whenever I can get a little research done on the ceramics!


Yay for nicer weather!!
