Thrifting


Hello Chickadee's.  I got a little thrifting in this weekend.  We started at an estate sale which was really more like a furniture sale and nothing to write home about.   Met my friend Sharon and we found a couple of garage sales but did not find anything.  So my husband took me a few towns over and I found this super sweet wall pocket.  She was in the window and I just could not leave her behind.  I do not know much about her other than she is from Japan.


I also found this plastic Santa.  He was a really good bargain at $1.  

I finished quilting the cowgirl quilt and got the binding sewn on it all I have to do is the hand sewing.  I will show you more when I am all finished.  Got my once a season swap done and mailed out today.  While I was waiting in line at the post office I realized I did not take pictures of all the goodies I made.  Darn it.  

Oh boy I have to tell you about the cutest image ever and it is over at Keren's at http://www.freeprettythingsforyou.com/  You must pay here a visit.  She is so talented and has the cutest images ever.

Hope y'all are staying cool.

    Love your wall pocket girl! And that Santa was a great deal! I have a few of him, and I've paid a bit more! Great job. After a day of "NO LUCK" thrifting, it feels so good to home home with a couple special things!

    I love the little girl wall pocket. The face is very sweet. I haven't seen a Santa like that for a long time. I remember them in my childhood.

    That wall pocket is super cute! I have a Santa like that in my collection. They are getting harder and harder to find!

    Can't wait to see your completed quilt!

    Blessings
