Well, I can't remember the last time a couple weeks have gone by between posts but I think it has been awhile. Things have not been going that well for me out here at the lake this year - the heavy work (moving picnic tables, toting all the trash to the landfill, digging firepits, etc.) is simply getting to be too much for me and as a result I have been sore, exhausted and depressed. Now DH has hurt his back at work and although he is managing to drag himself in there every day he can't do much else, so I've started sneaking away and running home for a few hours every couple days to throw supper in the crock pot for him, mow the lawn, clean house and tend the critters. Actually, I think this may very well be the reason I have started to feel better and this cycle of depression is lifting. Maybe the key is to crawl out of myself and do for someone else?? But, I've philosophized enough, now on to some great thrift store finds!
Aren't these Campbell Soup Kids just too cute? What a sweet redwork baby quilt they would make!
I am always on the lookout for embroidery transfers, especially the older ones. My first embroidery projects when I was a child were on pillowcases, tea towels, and other printed linens. I still love embroidered pillowcases and use them all the time.
I found all these embroidery transfers at the same thrift store and bought them all. The best prize though were these last two vintage packages. Too cool!
