Finds from last Friday


Found this sweet little chick.  The colors are just so cheery.  I love the flowers on top of her head.  On the bottom it says it was made in Japan..  Could not leave it behind.


I was so excited when I spied these feed sacks.  It seems like I am not seeing them as much.  Warrenton is coming up and always find a few there.  The red and white crocheted pots holders remind me of Christmas peppermints.  They are going to look so cute among some Christmas decorations.



When I say these Betsy Ross paper dolls and they are in good condition I knew they had to come home with me.  The outfits is this paper doll set are so so cute.


I joined Cheryll's OASS at http://stitchingcubbyhole.blogspot.com/  my partner was Carin at http://ullhrvan.blogspot.com/  she is so sweet.  Just look at the knitted scarf she sent me.  I tried to get the details in the pictures.  


I love this scarf.  It is so soft and in my favorite color,


She also included these mug rugs and candies.  I am in purple/lavender heaven.  Thank you so much Carin for the beautiful gifts.  A big THANK YOU to Cheryll for being such a wonder swap momma.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful evening with there families.

  1. Oh where do I start??? The duck is so cute! She would have come home with me too! And so would the feedsacks! I have the exact same "peppermint" potholders already. What great lavander gifts you received!
    Thanks for sharing Donna! :)

  2. The chick is adorable and I would have brought it home with me too!
    Feed sacks are hard to find in my area. The potholders do look like peppermint.
    Your scarf is gorgeous! Your swap partner did an outstanding job.
    Hugs,
    Donna

  15. I love crocheted potholders like that. (Mine are mostly in green and blue.) The little chick sure is cute. I bet she'll be making an appearance in some blog photos come Easter. I love the Betsy Ross paperdolls that you found. Such pretty dresses!
