Vintage Thingies Thursday ~ Cheap Vintage Finds


I was out and about two weeks ago looking for deals to sell at the shop. I sure didn't find much, but I did find these! Funny how most of what I got was red, white & blue.


I think these little wood people on picks are for a cake (?) They are angels, and there is a baby in the crib.
That's a little child's blue checked half-apron there. Cute, huh?

Love the bird graphic on the the package of rick-rack. Anyone have any great projects that involve rick-rack, but NO SEWING? Please send me a link! I have quite a collection now and I'm determined to use it!!!

  1. Those little picks are too cute! I've been displaying my vintage sewing notions in large clear vases or jars. There is one with vintage rickrack and some of the rickrack spills over the top of the vase.

  10. I have this thing for old packages of little rickrack...don't know what it is about them...
    Your little angel picks look like they might be German made. I have some Christmas angels that are similar.
