Okay, that is a total lie, I got the best stuff!
A 1940's children's story book, a 1950's cookbook and a 50's dress pattern
A bag full of kitchen appliance manuals
Various pictures, how fabulous are these?!
For all of this I paid $11! Yay me!
In other news, I may be posting this after the 4th of July but hey, I can be patriotic any time of the year, right?
The ginormous "clothes pin" was a gift from Jocelyn which I painted red and added red Stickles to the metal squeezie thingie. The letters are Thickers and the flowers are from Paper Blooms. I didn't have any stars to speak of so I traced a star brad onto different color papers, glued them to toothpicks and then accented them with Stickles. The pin-up is one I cut from my book. Voila!
I'm thinking my Fab Five for this week is going to be Toot-oriented...still thinking on that one though! Happy Thursday everyone!!!
