A good trip to Goodwill today

I found this large plastic sewing box today. I think it's cute in a weird 70's retro kind of way. And after a good scrubbing it was as good as new!

This piece of fabric appealed to me because it looks old fashioned. It's cute in a weird 40's feedsack kind of way (or something).

Finally, this small blue Pyrex bowl jumped into my cart. It's cute in a-my sister, Kimmie, has been looking for this particular piece of Pyrex to complete a set (I think, I hope) and her birthday is coming up very soon-kind of way.

It was going to be a surprise but I needed something besides list takers to blog about!☺

I have a lovely bright green plastic sewing box that i use that was thrifted too. Its beautiful in an ugly kind of way.
I think you bought the fabric because it resembles a vintage sheet.... and you do have a problem with vintage sheets don't you Holly?

Yes-I admit it, I have a problem with vintage sheets. Help!!!

Inoureyes said...

ohhh you are now shipping internationally eh??? cooooool

melissa, she is priceless!!!

Holly C. said...

Oh my goodness, Melissa-you got it already? I haven't even seen them in real life yet. Melissa-you WILL receive a package of handmade goodies from me sometime-just not sure when!

Yes-Jodie-maybe "priceless" is a good word for me. Because if Artsnow/Artscow says free shipping-they mean they will ship anywhere in the world "free".

Too cute! I have the EXACT same sewing box. My mom got it for me when I was in girl scouts - yep, back in the 70's. I used a label maker and "Rhonda Nulph" is still on the top! I'm sure Kimmie will love the bowl.

Jodie said...

did you change the picture in this post? i think you did.

Holly C. said...

Yes-I did Jodie-cause I took that other pic in the dark and I didn't like it. Very observant!

Rhonda-my mom got me a smaller yellow plastic sewing box back in the 70's but-sadly its long gone!

Gosh you beat me to it. I am still collecting for your gratitude package.
My excuse....i still have this headache. I have had CAT scans and am now waiting on a MRI.
In the meantime im just a cranky cow that has to have nanna nap all day.

Holly C. said...

I made it sound like I already sent it didn't it-sorry. No I didn't mail you anything yet-I need to collect stuff too.

Sure hope you feel better soon!
