Old Book Clutch

I ran across a collection of old books at a garage sale, and now I need to figure out what to do with them. The colors are awesome! Here is my first attempt at making a clutch. I still need a little more practice, and then I will share how to do it. 

Easy to do! 


Vintage Purses for a Dollar!?

I was so excited to get these cute vintage purses yesterday at a garage sale for only a dollar. They still have the tissue inside and have never been used. Well, I plan to change that right now! I can't decide which one to use first! Aren't they neat? I think they are from the 1960's.

Got this one for a dollar too! yep! Not only did it have tissue inside, but it has a tag on it and was still in the box. For a dollar? What?? Sold! I can't believe what you can find for a dollar these days.... fun!

Teapots and Aprons!

I have a granite teapot collection.... here are a few of them for you to see!  The white one with flowers is the newest addition. I bought it at an an antique store in Arthur, IL. 
I purchased this cute apron today at a garage sale for $1.50. It  matches my orange teapot! I love it!

Look at these cool vintage apron patterns! I also bought these today at a garage sale for $1. They were only 25 cents ...back in the day. I might try to make one of them...or not.

This is a pattern I designed when I had my business "Karen's Kraftwear." You will need 4 pre-made dishtowels to add the appliqué patterns to.
