Another Find at the local Thrift Stores

I feel like I'm behind on my blog so here I am playing catch up. I need to take some photos of some of the craft projects I am working on and post them too.

While my friend B was here a few weeks ago we did a bit of shopping and I also took her by the local thrift stores. I found this amazing album in town and I'm in love with it. Still trying to figure out what photos I'll be putting in the album but more then likely old black & white photos I find at the thrift store.
The kitties are just adorable! I love the art and from the copyright on the album it came out in 1996.

Mini Road Trip Fun.

Last weekend my boyfriend and I took a mini road trip to Lancaster County. We headed to Ronks, PA first to check out the shoo-fly pie at Dutch Haven and the Amish woodwork. We then drove up and down the street seeing what else we could find. I noticed a number of antique stores so my boyfriend was more then willing to go and visit.

I found a few things while looking....
Polaroid Land Camera 95a. I'm not sure if it works yet but it did come with film that has never been used so I will be trying it out. I need to take a picture of my camera collection now. It's rather small but I still enjoy my collection.

Next is some awesome fabric I found. The Bambi fabric is supposed to be made into a child's apron. I have not yet figured out what I'll be doing with it.



I also collect out of print books that I find interesting/etc. I fell in love with the front cover of this book, Mother Goose Chimes. As I looked through the rest I knew I had to have it.

Thrift Shopping.

One of the most amazing things about where I live is the awesome thrift stores. I have found some awesome things while going through them. There is also a Animal Shelter thrift store that raises money for there shelter of course. Usually I donate all my items I want to get rid of to them. A few months ago I gave them a old TV I didn't want anymore. It sold within a few days.

Here are some of my finds!

This cute little plush set was started but never finished. It's from Avon which I never knew they offered craft projects? On the back with the instructions it says 1979. When I am done this will be going up in my shop. These cute little guys deserve to be finished and loved.

I found this awesome Barbie and Ken fabric as well. The Barbie and Ken letters were done in embroidery. I'm going to fix that up and maybe add some more embroidery as well. I have yet to figure out what to do with them. I was thinking maybe pillows or just framing them.
