Nancy Jo- the quilts you find, handmade or not, are really pretty! I have a few inexpensive not hand-made quilts,or handmade in China, and I have used them for years! They are great because you can use them, wash them, and not feel as if you are using up a family heirloom! I love that!

I haven't really decided....and I picked it up and put it down two times, but for $2.25, whatever, right? I might be nice and give it Justin to house some of his modelling stuff--it has a nice velveteen covered inside, and would be good for little plane parts and things like that (did I mention he was a WWII nerd?)...He's made brush holders out of all my Crabtree and Evenlyn cookie cannisters and his table looks a little "girly" so maybe I should definitely give it to him!!!

Good for you Jonni. Thrift stores are the best. What are you going to do with the hat box?

Nancy Jo, you inspired me today, so I trekked over to our Goodwill for 30% off day (50% off tank tops and skirts)...I was also set on finding you some of your dishes that Miss Wilma sent because lord knows I've passed those up many times before--now I probably won't find a one! I ended up getting 4 pairs of pants, 2 tank tops to go under shirts and blazers for work and an old wooden dovetailed recipe box (70 cents) and the coolest, a leather hat box that went to a gentleman's luggage set (I think my dad had the same set :)) for $2.25.
Overall, a good haul and stuff I can actually wear :)

Nice stuff as always, Nancy Jo. I remember reading a Five Little Peppers and How They Grew when I was little - it was my mother's book. And of course, one can never pass up a book of paper dolls! :)

Wow! As usual beautiful things. I wish we had a thrift store around here. I think I would live there if I could, lol.
Thanks for sharing, I think we all love to see what you manage to find.
Take care and thanks for sharing,
Marcy
