Memories...

I absolutely love anything vintage looking! Since I have been here in Thailand, one of the things I miss dearly is going antique/vintage shopping with my mom! We always try to go at least once a month if not more. Most times we never buy anything but just getting to look and spend time together is the fun part. The other night I was in need of a pencil sharpener, I went and asked Pook if she knew where one was and she immediately went to here drawer and pulled out this marvelous little pencil sharpener. I immediately fell in love with it! :)

I was so excited to see something so cute and vintage! I was even more thrilled to find out that Pook's dad had used it when he was studying in school. Can you imagine lugging this thing around in your backpack!?
This little treasure that I had no idea was in my house brightened my day! It immediately reminded me of memories with my mom!

Cute as a button!

Since I love vintage things I decided to start collecting a "few" vintage buttons for a jar of mine. Call me odd, but as I was looking through them the other day I started thinking about what kind of outfits those buttons may have been on, what kind of stories could these buttons tell and what kind of places they have been! Maybe they were sewed on an overcoat for a drive through the snow, or maybe they came off an apron from someone working in a cute little cafe in Italy! Whatever it may be they are cute and I love them!

Vintage Crochet

I absolutely love vintage things! A couple of months ago someone gave my mom a vintage kitchen washcloth that was crocheted...it was so unique! I fell in love with it so much that I decided to teach myself to crochet just so I could make one for myself. I found and bought a set of bamboo crochet hooks and some thread and started crafting!

I know that since I made it it's not vintage but it looks like it! It came out better than I thought, especially since I didn't have a pattern!
