Summer thrifting...

It's pretty hard to thrift with the kids along so I try to grab time when Hubby is around. I leave for a few hours, grab a Chocolate Cooler from Caribou and enjoy the wander.

Here are some of my latest finds...

Vintage fabric for some fun tote bags (I am so tired of using just what ever is handy, I want pretty AND functional)

Kids Crafting books loaded with crafty goodness. The Sunset one on the right was originally printed in 1968, check out one of my favorite images from the book...


2 loop looms and oodles of loops, the perfect quiet time activity.

Cotton sheets for making sleep pants and maybe a few totes.

But wait, there's more...

Lovely canvas tableclothes for...
a retired, chipped Fiesta mug, thought it would be a cute plant container and a roll of vintage contact paper. How do I know it's vintage? It's the same stuff my Mom used to covered a set of recycled coffee cans for her kitchen in 1970 or so. I just barely remember them but how crafty cool is my mom?
