Lace & Such...

I found this old plastic sewing case at a local antique store with all the lace inside for only $5. I couldn't wait to snatch it up and plan on using it for pillows, blankets and doll clothes I will be making.

Pink...I LOVE Pink!!!

I really could live with a kitchen like this!

Look at the black and white floor with the cute pink square under the table!

I seriously like this fridge!

This is the same idea but not build in. I'd take either one!

I'd really like a stove like this. It's so cute!

Remember the crushed velvet years? Wow...been a while! 

Ok...I'm not to sure about the green with the pink but I guess it was a big thing way back when.

Ya, the tub and throne are pink but everything else is green!

Cute huh?

Remember when....I have to admit I'm a coke drinker, and I remember going to the salon with my Mom and seeing her under the hair dryer !!!!

Ok, ya I'm not a pepsi girl, but ya gotta love the pink!

Pink and Blue for the Coal Stove? I thought the add should be geared more toward the male of the day?

Pretty pink lil' thing!!!!

Tommy's Race Cars...

Tommy's Car parked in the back of the garage his family owned.

Close up.

I don't know much about these last two pics other than the protection gear they wore back then wasn't even as much as skate boarders wear today!

Compared to racing today these cars look like death traps!

Vintage pic...

This is my Grandmother and Grandfather whom I have never met. My Grandmother passed away when my Mother was 18 months old. She hemorrhaged after a botched abortion. My Grandfather  raced cars. My Mother was 10 when his final race took him. He had remarried and never got to see his new baby when she was born.
They were tough years back then. My Mother has told me many stories which I'm in the process of putting in chronological order as best I can.

Ken's Wardrobe

I found this at a local antique show. I found a booth that was 3 for $10. I bought this, a doll and a darling poodle. I think I've posted them already but will add them to this section a bit later. I'm still debating on whether or not to paint this white. I don't plan on selling it and would like it to look a bit more girlie even thought it says "Ken" on the front.

Barbie Case

My first e-bay purchase and most likely my last. I have to say it was a bit too stressful for my liking. However, I do have to admit I could not have gotten such a nice case for the amount I paid for this one, it was only $23.00. It is in such amazing condition and the seller really helped make it a positive experience.

Thrift Store Finds...

$6.00

Here's just a few items from my thrift store shopping. The couch will be a craft project for later. It will be pink and white when I'm done.

$4.00, not Barbie brand but mini just the same!

$2.00

Both sets were $2.00 each.

Happy ThanksGiving...

I have an important message from a real Turkey...

I saw this at one of the local antique stores and couldn't resist sharing it! I think the tag was around $30-$40. Cute Huh?

Christmas Wreath

Here's one of my projects from last year. I had so much fun making this. I had found vintage ornaments at several thrift stores I'd visited and even added some from the dollar store.  I've been collecting what vintage ornaments I could find the last couple years including stockings, and table cloths. I have more pics to share later when I'm feeling better.

Antique Shopping...

Pics of my wish list. The bear is made from an old bedspread, but it's the cradle I want for my new baby. It's $30, a little rich for my blood just yet.

Love the little bassinet. I didn't even look @ the price for it.

Found this carriage too, I wouldn't mind having the darling dolls too!

These girls were close by so I just had to snap another pic!

Can you tell I'm entering my doll stage in my old age. LOL!!!

Finally, I Got Batteries For My Camera...

Isn't she adorable? I found here @ a local Antique Show this past weekend. It's my first baby doll as an adult and she was only $3.33. I picked up the little bonnet for a dollar @ another booth. Underneath the bonnet is the cutest lil' haircut probably given to her by one of her "momma's". Looks like it was done with those little finger nail scissors. :) I remember my sister coming out of the bathroom one time with her eye's open REALLY WIDE. When Mom asked her why she was looking like that she confessed she had been cutting her bangs with the fingernail scissors and couldn't get them straight and finally gave up when she realized they were only about 1/4" long. Thus the wide eyes, she thought it would make her bangs look longer than they were. Oh what good times childhood brought us!!!!

Baby Brush & Comb

Blurry Photo :(

I'm still learning how to work with my camera with these photo's for posting. I now realize it's much more difficult than one would ever expect. I'm also realizing my camera is not right for the small items I want to post because as I get close enough to take it the pic blurs out! I may have to get Susie's out, it's a much nicer camera. Anyway, The precious baby brush and comb set was also only a $1.00 @ the show. I've wanted one for such a long time. 

Ok, I've always wanted one of these little stuffed babies for ever, and how perfect that it's a pink poodle! It too was only $3.33. The Antique Angels were riding around on my shoulder that's for sure!

Well....this pic turned out better than I thought it would. I'm finding that using a flash sure can wash out color as it bounces off what you're taking a pic of. Anyway I picked these up for $7.00 I think. I really enjoy the "spaghetti" look of these two poodles. I already have the little girl that I think goes with them. I found her much earlier in the year. I'll be posting those pics later on. 

Doll Clothes Closet

I've been looking for a Barbie Case for the few pieces of clothing I have, however they are so pricey that I was tickled to find this for $3.33. I plan on making it an "altered art" project for me. I can hardly wait. I'll post it again later once I begin working on it. It's missing the top drawer on the right but has that cool place under the mirror for shoes. 

My eyes won't stay open for much longer so I'm going to call it a night. Have a great end of the week and weekend!
