Thrift and Antique Store Finds

I found this vintage pattern pillow case ( Fashion Manor Percale Penn-Prest) at a thrift store for $.50.  I love the yellow roses on it.  I thought about using it in the camper, but decided to give it to one of the girls to use (who loves yellow).  It was hard to give it up, but my pillows are king and this fit a standard.  I love the beautiful lace on it too.

A Peek At My Key Chain Collection

Keep in mind, that I have over 400 of them (the last time I counted)....also, some of these were gifted to m e by family when they traveled, others are f rom my own traveling days.  And of cou rse, some just caught my eye a nd I bought them. I started this collection when I was a young teenager.

Tea Time in Tanganyika

It's been stressful the last fe w weeks.  Sorry for the lack of postings.  When there is nothing good to post about, I don't feel like posting anything. When I am stressed bey ond beli ef, when I can't th ink with out my head pounding .....I think of the way my Dad would handle it - Tea Time in Ta nganyika .   He was (a nd is) always good and stayin g ca lm in a ny situation that involves chaos , strife, the devil trying to tear my family apart, and so forth. Than ks for hanging on and following.  I hope to have a more interest ing updat e soon.

Key Chain Collection

  (Soon to be on my S.C.R.A.P. Blogspot) I have a another collection that I started collecting around 1981 (best that I can remember) - key chains. Despite living a more self-sufficient lifestyle, k ey chains are still an inspiration for me.  I try to buy one from every place I visit.  Some of them were also gifted to me.  Some I mak e myself. This one I made recycling an empty pill bo ttle.  I'll try to get the directions writ ten on my S.C.R.A.P. blog soon.  I won't be using this keychain, as it contains shells from the last island trip with hubby.  It's more of a "memory" k ey chain. I wonder if the Pioneers collecting anything?  Possibly marbles, dolls or buttons?  Our world today in America is "more."  Everything is in abundance.  I do have plans to display my collection.  The "where" and " when" hasn't been decided on yet.
