Hi everyone.
Since I am still having some computer problems,
thought I would share some pics of
Vintage Marketplace via my friend Sonya's sweet blog,

Counting My Blessings.
She has a couple of wonderful posts for Vintage Marketplace,
and the store.

And did I mention we may be doing Vintage Marketplace
again in August????

Any takers???

Thrifty Thursday Great Finds


Isn't this cat pin cushion the cutest?
(OH too funny! I think this might be a doggy.
Look at the ears. What do you think?)

He is really old, stuffed with straw it feels like.
See his little tongue ticking out??
And he is in great condition!!!
Even with all those pins sticking in him!

Cool book on fashion from ?
Corner of cover torn off where date would have been.
Any guesses as to era this was from?

Aren't these layouts great?

And see the treasures below?
They were all in the free box. Old belt buckles,
pins, and hair clips. Free is super Thrifty!! =)

I'm joining in at Thrifty Thursday today.

Oh, computer update. $100 dollars later,
it still only works sometimes.
If we get a new computer I'm afraid we'll just transfer
whatever virus, or whatever the problem is to it. =(
In the meantime, computer is working faster than it ever has.
Lightning speed!
I like this part. =)
Now, please just stay on while I finish this pot.

Another Drill Bit Box???


Yes, I found another drill bit box.
I'm just lovin' these for display of watches.
This one is about 6" tall.
See my newest old pocket watches?
I LOVE these!!!
And an old compass, too.
Compass & some watches sold, but have more old watches)
This box was big enough to actually hang a watch.
I used an old rusty dusty magnetic hook to hang it.

And how do you like this for a magnet?
It's just an old rusty hinge.
Love the shape.
You don't even have to glue the magnet on.
They just all stick together.
(I'm making some jewelry using these hinges too.
I have to do something, I got a whole cigar box of them!)


Just got a couple of new old typewriters too.

Seems suddenly I am attracted to them, and old sewing machines.

Thanks for coming by.
Still having computer problems, but learning to use my sweet fellas laptop.

SMILE for my 'new' camera

SMILE!!
Look what I found last week!!
This wonderful old Kodak camera is like new.
It did not even have any dust on it.


all the accessories were there.
(Anyone know what the silver pointy thing is for??)
and it came in this beat up old case.
What a great surprise to open it and find this wonderful treasure.
More reason to smile??
My computer is working again, at least temporarily.
If it goes berserk again, means I will have to get a new one.

Sweet blessings friends
