possibly one of the coolest thrift finds ever!

 

a hand embroidered rendition of Senecio by Paul Klee. I've long been a fan of Klee made even more strongly knowing he was a student at a Froebelian kindergarten. Doubly cool that he was a member of the Bauhaus.

I can't decide if I should frame or pillow it. What do you think?

i can't decide

 

 if I should use these as they were intended or stitch them all together and make them into something...another score from my epic month of thrifting.

august was an epic month of thrifting

 I hit the thrifts a lot in August. A LOT. I found things I needed, things I liked and things I NEEDED.

 So much goodness was acquired that I thought I would hold a show and tell to keep you entertained while the mister and I are off road tripping through the midwest.**

**all that up there...ALL of it cost me $5 smackeroos total courtesy of a $5 bag sale at one of the local thrifts.  check it:

*vintage petri flex camera
*2 vintage ties
*2 books
*pack o pipecleaners
*8 scarves
*2 shirts
*1 kiddo trench coat
*vintage strawberry shortcake fitted sheet
*3 pairs o trousers, none of which that fit, but one was bought solely for the fabric. the grey jeans confound me as I have them already same size, same brand but these do not fit and the denim there? oh my, I SO wanted those to fit. Ooof!

it was just like christmas

 my sister sent me a very large box full of vintage goodness. she was clearing out her space and knows me well enough to know that i am just the person to enjoy a motely crew of vintage odds and ends.

 

it was like the best christmas morning ever!

only better!

here is a smidge of a smidge of what was in the box. man, Oklahoma has good finds (it helps that my sis has an excellent eye and an inborn compulsion to shop. i think we got that from our mother)!
