Some recent thrifting finds

Not a whole lot of crafting going on, but I have found some fun things recently while thrifting.  

I had not heard of this girl detective series before and the book title "The Clue in the Patchwork Quilt" was what caught my eye.  So I bought both of them and looked up Margaret Sutton when I got home and was pleasantly surprised with my finds.  The fabric the books are on was also found at the same store, it is two drapery panels that are in great condition.  I will probably take them apart and use the fabric for something else.  

Such a fun book, I only found Volume 3 of four and will have to look out for the others.

I love this find... this is the inside cover of "The Complete Book of Home Modernizing", published in 1953.  There are so many great pictures and drawings in this book, I have just leafed through it and took a couple of pictures of what this treasure has to offer.

Jealous of these modern interiors!

And I have to leave you with two pictures of our dogs on Halloween.  I know, you are probably sick of dog pictures already, but I couldn't help myself.

The hats didn't last long on either of the dogs, we were hoping they would wear them for the tricker treaters, but no go.

I LOVE Judy Bolton! What an amazing find!!!

And the home modernizing book -- just dreamy. As are the pups! Have you thought of a name yet?

I have started reading one of the Judy Bolton books and do like it. I guess that this will be one more thing to look out for on my shopping adventures. We have decided on a name for our pup, it is Domino. He responds well to it and it just fits him.

Thanks for reading!

Nice Judy Bolton book find! My friend gave me one of her books entitled "The Voice in the Suitcase" which I found to be a hilarious title. Would love to find more of her stuff. Great score.
I'm enjoying your blog as well. I just found it while searching for thrifting pics.
