My latest vintage acquisitions are a mix of items....
The graphics on the sewing cards are so delightful and have already taken up residence in my craft room.
The cracker jack tin will be a perfect container for holding miniature Amercian flags.
Last but not least, my obsession with owls continues. This straw purse is going on my upcoming cottage vacation with me. At $3, I couldn't simply couldn't resist!!

Terrific finds!
In my travels, I think of you often-owls are everywhere-but the vintage ones are the best.
Enjoy the rest of the day!
More cute vintage finds! Tammy at Beatrice Banks just did a blog post on owl from the 70's. Yours is quite fantastic!
Oh, I love the sewing cards. I had forgotten about those. I remember using them when I was little. Can't say it helped with my sewing skills though.
You find the coolest stuff!! You have inspired me to look at the local antique shops here but their prices are so high. :( I will just have to enjoy yours vicariously.
It's been about, oh, a thousand years since I've seen sewing cards!
DAWN TO DUSK
Yellow’s the color I wear at dawn
When dancing dewdrops spangle the lawn.
Red is the color I wear at dusk
When earth and sky are dry as a husk
And nothing stirs—not even a wing
Of bat or swallow or anything!

You are so lucky! I love seeing your thrifty finds. Those sewing cards are adorable and in such great condition. Love the Cracker Jack canister and purse too - perfect holiday bag.

The Cracker Jack tin is the cutest thing ever - just in time for the 4th, too! Those are the best sewing cards I've ever seen.
The sewing cards warm my heart. I had those when I was a little girl. Good times.

Kim, I love those sewing cards. I really enjoyed playing with things like that when I was little. And the straw purse is darling. I saw one in a thrift clothing store about a month ago and almost bought it. Now I am kicking myself!
Oh, Im seriosuly dying over that owl purse. And you're so very right, the little tin would be darling with flags in it :0)

We need to shop together sometime...although maybe it would result in a tug of war!
Great finds!
You would be fun to shop with!
Oh the sewing cards are darling - love those old time illustrations.
Lovely finds! I've been snatching up everything owl-related too. And that purse is a steal for $3!
