Fun Circle Confetti ~ New Item

I am just going to list some really fun NEW confetti that I've made!
It's great for scrapbooking, card making, to sprinkle over your celebration table, make crafts with, and oh..SO much more!!
I've taken vintage inspired scrapbook papers and mixed them with some great vintage papers, including hymnal pages, dictionary pages, different ledger papers, and some others, to make a really FUN confetti mix!!

There are many different colors in here, from reds to blues!


The cutest part for me, are the assorted patterns and the switch ups from the patterned papers to the written pages and the music pages!


They even look pretty just sitting in a bowl!

You can find them right here in my shop, and while your there, take a look around at my other fun confetti!
Thanks for looking,
Ren

Thrifty Thursday

This Thursday I have some fun things to show you that I got!  Actually, I posted them last Thursday but my computer decided to eat that information I suspect, because it wouldn't post.  So, I will try again Ü

When I was little, I loved to read (I still do!), and had so many books in my little bookshelf.  Now, I've been finding so many fun ones at different places that I've gotten quite a collection again!  I've even found some that I remember having as a child, they bring back great memories Ü

Here are a few that I've added:
Love that little kitty's face!


 All those children in that old shoe, how did that Mom ever do it?


Little Red Riding Hood seems to have changed a bit since I was little.  I remember it as the Huntsmen came and cut open the wolf and the Grandmother came out.  Not anymore, guess that was too gross for kids now days?


This little Junior Elf Book is one that I used to have.  I just love the drawings in here.  Look at that precious face, my goodness!


Even the bunnies love her Ü 
Though, how could they not, when she was as sweet as sugar and as good as bread?

Thanks for reading today!  Favorite me for more fun things!

Thrifty Thursday

This past week has been a very busy one, and I haven't been around home very much during it.  However, we did manage to make a few stops along our ways and found some great things! 
One of the places we stopped at was from the early 1900's and used to be a ballroom where they also held weddings and other social gatherings.  They even had rollerskating, and I didn't understand how they could do that on those beautiful old floors, {EEK!}, but they did! It was definitely a place we'll be going back to, if nothing more than to just look at the beautiful architecture.

Here are some of the treasures I found:

These were made in 1953 and from what the ad says, it "Saves 56% typing time!"   

I can think of a lot of ways to use those little letters in my Scrapbooks or Smash Journals!

This is just about a full box, with only a few plain paper tabs used out of it.  I can't wait to use some and probably list some for others to enjoy Ü.


 

With Spring coming soon, these two trims caught my eye right away!  They are the daintiest flowers ever and in such pretty colors!  I was able to get more than what's pictured, so I'm sure I'll have some to share in my shop also!
Laying this way they remind me of rows of flowers...
What would you use them for?

Then, I spotted these at the counter on my way to pay.  I am a huge collector of children's books and games and these were absolutely coming home with me.   

         I have this set of cards made in other years, but I never had this year before.
  I just love how the animals are each doing something different, and they are so fun to look at!  
The graphics are what reel me in every time, they definitely aren't modern!      
I'll leave you with this set of three cards to look at, since the Rabbit is in this photo and Easter is coming soon:
  He's just happy as can be, gathering his vegetables in his wheelbarrow!  I just noticed the knife hanging around his waist.  I guess he needed something to cut those heads of lettuce out of the ground!
Happy Thrifty Thursday!
