Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Whenever I see crochet hooks and thread, I am reminded of my dear maternal grandmother, Mo-maw. She was a talented seamstress and taught me to crochet as young girl. As Iong as I can remember, an assortment of crochet thread, hooks, buttons and sewing notions were always within reach in her home. When I came across a ziplock bag filled with this thread, the hook was tucked inside just as it is pictured, with a few rows already "worked," as Mo-maw would say, a further sweet reminder of days past...
I also found the collapsible egg basket and together they make a sweet display. The basket got a light spray of white paint and remember these buttons? The vignette provided the perfect way to show off that gorgeous bluebird graphic.
Even the table was a previous find from a few years ago, that received a thrifty transformation.
On to the rest of this week's finds! Still another bag of crochet thread--aren't the colors gorgeous? I'm pondering a repurposed project for these--not a snowman this time, but a similar craft.
Isn't it funny when your finds seem to have their own theme? From crochet thread to a pretty finished doily. Again, I love the colors! Available
For my cat loving friends, I found a cutie! A whimsical hand painted muslin calico: Available
What a blast from the past! I couldn't resist this retro tote, the inside is pristine! Available
Until next time, happy hunting!

ReplyDeletehaha LOL xoxo
Love the little kitten. Good finds. I bet you are out hunting again today.
ReplyDeleteLove your finds. I always scoop up crochet thread at the thrift store. There are so many fun projects you can do with it.
ReplyDeleteNice finds, Cecilia. I have a had time resisting textiles in general. I had a babysitter teach me to crochet and recently picked it up again to make a few eternity scarves. It's so relaxing!
ReplyDeleteYou brought back a long forgotten memory of my grandma teaching me to crochet when I stayed at her house one summer. Those colors are lovely together. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun goodies! I never learned how to crochet, but it's never too late.
ReplyDeleteI love the basket!
ReplyDeleteThe tote reminds me of the one the ladies at church carried. That definitely brings back memories :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom crocheted but I never could quite get the hang of it! Love that basket! xokathleen
