Thrifted Goodies and Vintage Pattern Giveaway

7.25.2006

I snuck away for a bit of thrifting while in Wisconsin and hit the jackpot some cheap craft goodies. There were hundreds of patterns, knitting needles and tons of notions. I kept throwing stuff in my basket until I realized I didn't know how much the patterns were. So here are some of my goodies.

thriftedgoodies

5 pairs of knitting needles, 10 bits of rick-rac and binding, some great vintage fabric and other fabric odds and ends,3 skeins of embroidery yarn.

14 vintage patterns including a great set of 15 "bazaar crafts" for kids. I also got Annie a pair of Hanna Anderson Clogs for 50 cents, 2 books including Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel in spanish and the game Perfection. And 2 vintage yellow stripe pillowcases destined to skirts.

And the grand total for all this goodness...$13.68. Not bad. I love a big bags of goodies for under 20 dollars.


In celebration of my score I thought I would share with y'all. So here are 4 patterns from my outing.

I think I need to hit spell check before I post these. I really do know how to spell and "destined to skirts" and "I love a big bags of goodies" is just embarressing. But that is a whole other post.
