Fun Finds...

 

I had a few fun retro finds this week!  I love the colors of this thermos...it will look great holding evergreens...


These flash cards were a wonderful find for 
me...I've never found red numbers before! 
They'll be great for crafting and display!  
There are some listed in my

Some colorful croquet balls...


and fun books were more finds...


The Tiny Tim book cover is perfect for Christmas decorating...


Finally, I found some wonderful large

    Oh man, those vintage French flashcards must have been pretty exciting to find! We did a little antiquing on our road trip but have ramped back a bit on purchasing lately especially when my husband filled the car with my Dad's old tools that were gong to get garage sale-ed.
    Turne out we stopped in the antique store in Vicksburg that "Borat" had stumbled his way into in the movie and got an interesting story about it from the owner.
    Happy decorating season to you!
