I used to be a die-hard thrift store shopper, but over the last year or so, I’ve discovered that unless you are looking for used clothes, paperback books or ugly dishes, thrift stores are starting to hike up the prices on many things. Normally you expect to pay more at thrift stores than you would at a garage sale, but he prices were still very reasonable and affordable, but isn’t always the case these days. For example I used to buy vintage {Read More}

Have your kids started back to school yet? Most of the schools in my area are back in session, but I ease back into schoolwork slowly with my son, working on just a few subjects until our homechool co-op resumes classes at the beginning of September. I’ll be teaching a writing class for the high school kids in our group this year, so I’m gearing up for that class and hoping it goes well. I came across some graphics I’ve never shared before, {Read More}

Antique Flour Sack Printable Images
August 17, 2015 by 10 Comments
The small town where my son goes to college only has 1 antique store, but I always check it out when we’re there. Most things are a bit pricey, but I keep my eye out for small, less expensive items, and I found one I loved. It’s a very small antique flour sack. It had a paper tag envelope still attached to it, which explains that the sack held just a sample amount of King’s Castle flour, and originally included recipes which could be {Read More}

When you think of autumn, what images immediately {Read More}

I can quickly change them out for different seasons, or when I have a new piece to add to one of my collections. One of the things I like to collect and display in vignettes is old grocery store product packages. I especially love old egg cartons and {Read More}
