My favorite find - ric rac, seam binding, bias tape, and various other trims. These were all 50% off. Now I probably need to add this sort off thing to my Use What You Have Challenge no buying list.
This fun suitcase was $2. I am going to decorate it with illustrations from some vintage children's books . Until I get around to it, the kids are having a lot of fun sitting in it and dragging their toys around the house in it.
A sweet set of dishes - I love the little birds!
This fun typewriter. It was fully functional until Little P decided it was his new favorite toy and pulled the tape off of the wheel. I think it can be easily fixed though. Part of the reason I bought it was for the kids, so no biggie.
So, no new sheets or fabric, but still some fun finds. It has been hard to resist buying some vintage sheets I've seen, but I have resisted. Can you tell I am counting down the days until I can buy sheets again? I'm not sure why - it's not like I don't still have a bundle of them here. Time to get back to sewing - must use that stash!

Hi! I just added you to the Apronista site-thanks for stopping by!!!
I love those dishes! So sweet!
Cool finds! We have an old typewriter that is a big hit around here. I need to figure out if there is a way to buy more ribbon for it.
Can I come to idaho and thrift shop with you? Great finds and great taste!
Jessica,
how do I add you as a link?
Great finds! I'm jealous of that huge stash of ric rac and bias tape! I had a play typewriter growing up and loved it.
wow those are some great finds! I agree with Heidi. I think I'm going to be buying huge amounts of fabric when this is all over!!
And I looooove those dishes!
Oh, the dishes are too cool!
I love those dishes! The birds are great.
What great finds!!
I can't wait until "the challenge" is over either, although, I still find myself looking at quite a stash. I think what I really need to do is go through it and purge. I don't know, but I can't wait to shop!!!
