If so, then Joshua has made the perfect snack for you all. :) Isn't he just a cutie? He's always doing stuff like this and bringing to me and then we sit and play. Usually I have a box full of fun vintage stuff I find sitting in my living room. And so he found these old wooden dishes made in the Philippines. Remember these? Like I can remember going to my parents friend's house for dinner and seeing these wooden dishes filled with peanuts and mints and things. And now you can practically find them anywhere. Josh seems to think they make great play snack dishes and trays. I am beginning to think they do too. Kinda vintage and sweet right?
Okay so back to our quilts. I finally finished my flowers and yoyo's. I think I need faux bifocals so I really feel like the little old lady sewing in the chair while her husband sits and watches baseball or movies on the tube at night. These were the fun part. Just sitting, relaxing, and going nuts with how to embellish these. Fun to choose tons of different buttons, stitches, colors, fabrics, etc. I think I'm just now starting to visualize what I want my sewing projects to look like before I start them. That is good news. It's hard not knowing where to go on something and then doing it and hating it later. So, I'm tickled with how these turned out. I think Chayce was eyeing these..maybe for a cute top for her? Or on a pillow? Something. She is good at eyeing things she likes.
Can I say for the record that church rummage sales just rock? Must be all those holy people donating fun vintage finds and being so generous. I don't know but I usually find awesome things at them. And I found these. I love this pillow. Funky wild green velvet..Hmm...maybe add some cute new tassels? Might look cute on Chayce's bed. And then lo and behold, I didn't even look on the bottom of these until I got home. Sterling silver. Pretty and so sweet. I think the water pitcher will make a great vase for summer flowers? Hmm..nice excuse to go buy bouquets at the Farmers Market. :) My mom saw these and told me to keep them for sure. So, I will. Everyone needs a nice sterling vase full of flowers in their living room right?
Okay hope you all had a fun NSD day! :) I barely had time to shop around but managed to pick these up. Cute stuff here and here and today, OMG, for all you mommies with baby pirates...go get these!!!!! If you look at Mindy's blog, there's even a discount. Holy moly..these are the cuuuutest little sweet pirates! Josh was smiling at these this morning. Can't wait to make some cute pirate pages with my baby pirate. Lanne, aren't these cute? :) Til then, happy day to you all!
