Delightful discards

I haven't hit a lot of great yard sales lately, although I did hit another car during my search a week or two ago. That was nice.

I did come across a great stash of vintage fabric pieces at a nearby sale yesterday and even dragged Ethan back with me today to dig through for more. Here's a sampling of those:













And books! I have a thing for older library discards. There's just something about that old book smell, the distinct look and feel of the hard covers and illustrations. I had to clean a few years of grime off them but otherwise they are intact and ready for many more.

Sorry to hear about your car mishap. Ack.

Hurray for yardsales! Penny and I just went out to a few but didn't get a whole lot. We also went to some open houses. It's fun to just see the insides of other people's houses.

Cool fabric! (Which shows I'm grown up. When I was younger, I'd see that fabric as just OLD.) And you deserve great pieces like that because you'll do something clever with them!

I love the fabrics you got! Lucky duck!! I haven't had a chance to go to any yard sales this year. None!!! I'm totally jealous of your find :o)
