Lookie here!

Sewing_storage Here's a little something I found at the Goodwill store 2 weeks ago. I didn't actually buy it for the box (in fact the box has already been donated back to the Goodwill store - grin!). I purchased it for the treasures within. Usually at my Goodwill store, they would have emptied the box and sold the contents individually, however lucky for me, they sold the unit contents included. Inside were vintage seam binding, rhinestone & mother of pearl buttons, and lots of other things which were simply junk.

And the best part, It was only $9.99!! Score!

So tell me, what treasures have you found lately?

sweet things

Just a quick note as I finish packing for my trip to Phoenix tomorrow.

Had some great luck last week at 2 different antique stores last week. Beautiful millinery, mother of pearl buckles, an old journal and an itty bitty baby doll.

Looking forward to being with Diane tomorrow and meeting new faces at the class (there is still room if you'd like to join us!).

I'll be back on Monday! Have a fun weekend.

We have a winner, vintage treasures and weekend plans

What a Fun Giveaway! It was neat to see how many of you are already familiar with the Canadian Scrapbooker, and how many of you didn't know that we had our own scrapbook publication this side of the 49th parallel. I also wanted to say how much I appreciate the kind words that so many of you had regarding the column I work on each issue. You made me blush!!

Without further ado, the winner of this week's Giveaway is:

Winter_cheer_contest_three_winner

I will be sending you an email as soon as I finish this post Wendy! Way to go....and because I'm having SO much fun with the giveaways and I happen to have a few of the Winter 07/08 issues around the house, I also chose two other winners who will receive the Winter issue to peruse. Those two lucky ladies are: Debbie, who posted Dec 11th at 4:43PM, and Holly who posted Dec 11th at 3:11. I know you'll each enjoy receiving the issue!

In vintage treasure news, the other day I picked up the buttons that I'd told you about last week from the antique store. Right now they're still in their boxes sitting on my kitchen counter. I get such pleasure from looking at them, they're so pretty. While I was there, I also found a darling photo and a another spelling primer with a beautiful notation on the front page. Here are the goods:

This weekend I'm really excited about going to this guy's concert. I've never been to one of his Christmas concerts before, so I'm really looking forward to it. My parents are coming too, so I'm sure it will be a blast. We'll stop at some of our favorite Seattle restaurants and hopefully an antique store or two as well. I hope that whatever you plan to do this weekend, you have safe travels and a wonderful time. Be sure you check back on Monday for the launch of the next (HUGE) giveaway!
