A sharp, stainless steel knife secured in a wooden case with piano hinges so it can be turned over and used as a chopping board.
Smart idea!
Perfect for picnics and camping.
A birthday gift for the mister
found at Canoe.
clever. Turning overalls that have become too small into a jumper is clever.
Before: Super cute, vintage, handmade by someone's mama overalls in a fun ABC print that were given to Miss C for her first birthday.
After: A super cute, vintage, ABC print jumper 'remade' by my mama.
Bright colors and good form found in something so simple.
Can you guess what it is?
I found this stack while sorting through the storage space.
It could have been the sunshine or the smell of the country air as I drove with the windows down, but I think it was the colorful grandma afghan's put to good use that made me smile from ear to ear today. Amazing! Do you think they'll mind if I stop in and play?
The tag on the plastic bag read: Vintage Mod Blocks. The little miss dumped them out and stacked them higher than I've seen her stack any other blocks. Obviously, I had to get them.
x is for x-ray, n is for cute, mod nurse, and l is for retro lamp!
Maybe you're like me and when you're out and about rummaging you may pick up a set of vintage paper napkins; be it holiday, cocktail with random one liners on them, or just some print that tickled you're fancy. Never used, they are perfect, still with their original price tag of 59 cents (or something silly). I even have one collection that I found all wrapped up in an old wonderbread plastic bag, how could I resist? I always scoop them up. I don't think I have ever used any of them for their intended purpose. Actually, I don't think I've ever used any them at all! They just sit in the magic closet in a box labeled "assorted paper and other interesting things" awaiting some creative repurposing.
Why not a gift bag?
It's simple. It's made of scraps. It's a bit sloppy, but let's just say that's the charm!
I cut one piece of canvas with pinking sheers, sewed the front of the napkin to one side and the back to the other with a zig zag stitch, attached pipe cleaners for handles, bundled up some ribbons and tacked them in what would be the bottom corner, then folded the whole thing in half and stitched it together. A perfect size for a small gift or even some stems of flowers. Happy Birthday, Mom!
Our friends told us to check out Daytrip Society while in Kennebunkport. An amazing shop for sure but when I found out they also had a kid's shop around the corner well, it would be an understatement to say that I was more than excited.
