Critters Have Feelings Too

 

An unplanned intermission is what's going on around here!  The summer days are flying past.  We're enjoying life and each other, but I'm missing all my blogging friends and looking forward to some free time to catch up with you all.  I'll be back soon! 

Not Another Post About Vintage Fabrics from eBay?

Yup, it's another post about vintage fabrics from eBay.  I can't help it, I'm obsessed.  The secret's out.  Did you know that there are about 4,000 vintage fabric listings on eBay right now?  Did you also know that I've viewed each and every one of those 4,000 listings?  (well actually I don't click on the listings without a photo)  It amazes and then saddens me to watch these gorgeous fabrics slip away, possibly never to be seen again.  It makes me appreciate my new fabrics, knowing that someday someone might long for a piece of that Alexander Henry fabric and I had it at my disposal.  Ok so here they are, please make sure you read the descriptions before bidding - I can't be held responsible for any yellow marks or false claims of vintageness!

Talk about portion control in the cutest measurements!  I recently bought this from Spiralling and it's the sweetest thing to have lingering about the cupboard.  About the portion control part, it's very petite.  If I would only eat out of this bento at each meal, I'd be set.  I know a little boy who is hoping I'll share...
