I have been so busy with work and home stuff that I haven't had a lot of time for much else. I am looking forward to my big life change of leaving my corporate job and focusing my time on fixing up the house and planning our wedding (after the wedding I will focus on my own crafty business). The countdown is on, only two more full weeks of this work left! I did manage to squeeze in some thrifting in the last couple of weeks and here are some of my more interesting finds:
I saw a needlepoint bag like this on Tricia Royal's blog, bits and bobbins, a long time ago and fell in love with it. Then I found my own for only $2.99!
I love vintage sheets and bedding... the bright colors and fun patterns make me smile. I don't know what I am going to do with my growing collection, but I am adding a fitted sheet and pillow case that I recently picked up.
OOOHH! My favorite find in the past couple of weeks is this "Brown Terra" patterned Pyrex casserole. I am very happy to add this to my vintage Pyrex collection.
wow! you totally scored!

I've got some old sheets and stuff that I've been collecting from thrifting trips too; my plan is to make PJs out of them -- they're such great patterns and the cotton is so soft from being washed so much. Amy Butler's book Stitches has a great pattern for some PJ bottoms. But of course there's a zillion things to do with the sheeting...!
