Friday Find #43
October 30, 2009
A few thrift store finds and Rebecca W.’s finished Market Tote! First a defiant little girl, I mean, look at that face! Can you say strong will? Egads.
More shoes, had to get them. (I do have a creative reason) Barb made me (yes, you did Barb, you know you did!) when she bought a metal/wood…shelf thing (sorry, not a good description) with cubby holes for her wool pieces. Has an advertisement on the back so she’ll have to display it so you can see all sides. Anyhow, I was caught up in the excitement and figured I would probably never see shoes like this again and would kick myself later if I didn’t…so, I did.
That last paragraph sounds like a justification doesn’t it? Hm, maybe it is. And now, Rebecca’s tote. Every one that I’ve seen is so different on the button crest/stencil side, a personal touch from the maker.
And the miniature quilted pocket side. Thanks Rebecca for letting me post this!
Have an autumn weekend.
P. S. Thanks for all the comments on last Mondays post. Its nice to know there are other like minded souls out there! See ya Monday.

Wow that child is almost scary. She appears to be from a very wealthy family. You could really create quite a story around her. Oh and I love the shoes too!

In defense of the little girl-I am an only child and my parents were always taking pictures of me. Some of them are funny now-but I remember the thoughts at the time. She is probably thinking the last 5 were supposed to be the LAST one!

When I saw the picture, I immediately thought, “there once was a girl with a little curl right in the middle of her forehead… when she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid!” I’ll probably find out later she’s one of my ancestors!

That fits her perfectly Joyce!

Strong-willed? Can you say possessed? HA! And your tote bag is soooooo nice! The fabric reminds be of Kaari Meng’s (The Warp and the Weft) vintage linens from France. http://frenchgeneral.blogspot.com/

Those shoes were something that you could not pass up. You were right that you would have regretted it later. Great find.

What a great post. Nice variety. I love the shoes. Saw a pair in Leavenworth, but couldn’t justify the purchase, hubby was with me and he keeps me on track now and then.
The tote is beautiful. I love the simplicity of this one. The buttons are really cool.
My mother used to tell me that poem, but with a different ending. “There once was a girl with a little curl right in the middle of her forehead…when she was good she was very very good, but when she was bad she was better.” She learned that from her mother.

[...] 13, 2009 Remember that metal/wood…shelf thing with cubby holes for Barb’s wool? Well, I went and took some photos of it so you could see for yourself. Can you see the colors [...]
