Estate Sale

Please don't forget to enter my giveaway of many prizes!  My Facebook $25 gift certificate giveaway is in the "Discussions" section of my Facebook Fan Page.  Hardly anyone has signed up for that one so far.  Not sure if the discussions thing is too confusing or if people just don't have the time for another click.  Oh well!  (Also, my birthday sale goes until I'm getting ready for bed tonight!  I won't be mailing anything while I'm gone, so if you had your eye on something, get it now! BIRTHDAY11)

I stopped at an estate sale last week and found some awesome stuff.  All sheets were $1, and I limited myself to these two.





This one has a couple discolored spots, but it's so awesome that I don't care and will cut around them!



I also found this vintage Sears bath and hand towel set.  I love these kinds of towels.  They're so soft and absorbent!  Yes, I can and will buy vintage towels.  Some people say this is gross, and to these people I say, "I WASH THEM REAL GOOD."  I pop this stuff in George Washingmachine on HOT with a little bleach.



I grabbed this one too.  I think it will be an awesome bathmat.

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for, the best birthday present the universe could bestow upon a lady...



Chippendale's playing cards!



These are from 1982 and are one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

Does anybody have any tips for awesome places to check out in Seattle?  I'm thinking awesome craft stores, thrift stores, and anything fun that we HAVE TO DO.  Please let me know.

Naughty Cat Score

Chainsaw was in New York all last week, leaving Felix and I to fend for ourselves.  Needless to say, I've had a heck of a hankering to get out of the house BY MYSELF for a while.  Wednesday I decided to follow my heart to a new thrift store next to one of my grocery stores.  It's called Birds of Prey.  Of course I needed to check it out.  

I found a new blue cardigan and this:

The best naughty vintage cat sheet of all time!

I don't know if this is naughty.  Is the mom taking sneaky kittens out of the socks?  Or is she putting the kittens in the socks as some sort of time out for being naughty?

It's got a pesky moon howler.

A mouse exploder.

And my personal favorite, this sneaky fellow making off with the birdcage. 

I got a full sized flat sheet and the pillowcase.  My one complaint is that it's pink, otherwise it would be double perfect super awesome curtain material for Felix's room.  He says he loves it, so I know I could easily con him into thinking it's a good idea.  I'm just not sure that pink fits in with the race car bed, pirate memorabilia, and random thrift store animal artwork he's got going on in there.  Who am I fooling?  It would probably be perfect.

I finished fourteen card wallets yesterday.  I have two markets coming up in May (assuming I get into one of them), so I'm going to work on creating my heart out over here.  I'm putting the finishing touches on my super awesome birthday giveaway, and I'll get that up when the good light visits.

I signed up for the Vintage Sheet Fat Quarter Swap this year, and I'm so excited about it. Here are my offerings.

Floralia: A Festival of Wine, Women, Spring and Song. Denver's Biggest Girls' Night Out EVER!!

Doesn't that sound fun?! I need to go thrift some men's wear for hats asap!!

Vintage Sheets

I'm always in awe of the blog world's luck when it comes to finding cool vintage sheets. I always check out sheets at thrift stores, and every once in a while I find a good one. I've been hording the few I have, but I decided it was time to sink my scissors into a couple.





I spent TWO days making these, but I love them.

I'd also like to report that no snow has fallen on our little neighborhood. I did see snow on the news in areas close by though. I'm not used to it being so cold so soon. In South Dakota, yes, but here?

We are enjoying the warmth of out light switch fire place. I can't believe it's almost time to turn on the furnace!
