Goodwill & antique mall finds for Wednesday

These pyrex bowls from the antique mall are for my sister's birthday coming up next Sunday. They were $12.00. Didn't think that was too bad for a gift. She wanted bowls and I think these match the ones she has.
This is a scarf. I think maybe a mantle scarf. It would make a cute topper, not sure yet.
Got this for 1/2 off at antique mall. A vintage dishtowel. Probably will hang up instead of actually using it for dishes.
Got this adorable gingham, smocked dress for Layla at Goodwill for $2.00
These 2 pillowcases and flannel material came from Goodwill. The one with the ruffle I thought would make an adorable dress or skirt for the kids. The one with the bird was so cute I couldn't resist. The material would make a warm winter gown.
Hope everyone enjoys seeing the things I buy as much as I enjoy buying them. Thanks for stopping by.

Look at my goodys

My Aunt Louise gave me some of her patterns she's not using. There are a few vintage patterns I think I can wear. But some are very tiny. The kids patterns are nice. I'm sure I'll use them. Look at the fabric below she gave me. A beautiful overlay for one of these patterns. Love you Lou.

And she shared some of her beautiful lace.

Those beautiful grandchildren

Saturday morning in clean clothes. We were leaving for McDonalds and they had such a great time. It took a while for Ruby to play, then Layla let her follow her and everything was good.
Then they didn't want to leave. In the car Layla said " I acted like I owed the place" and that she did.

On the other hand Jakob didn't have such a good time. He's 11 and rather not be at McDonalds.
Couldn't get his picture because his hair wasn't just perfect.


And here is Lori and her sweet babies in their aprons.

Couldn't wait to show you

I had to stop and get groceries at Kroger and Goodwill is next door so I had to go in. First of all I found this amazing pyrex bowl. Look it has roosters on it (I love roosters). Never seen this before, not even at the antique mall. I have got to find more of these. I'm addicted.
I also found this pyrex that matches the one I got the other day. It is a divider bowl.

A cute pillowcase that is very yellow. How do I get the yellow out? Does bleach work or should I use vinegar?
So now I can calm down and sew.

Hope you like the aprons

Made these 3 aprons from the round tablecloth I thrifted. The little elephants is from my mom's old stash. I used this same ribbon on a doll dress in 1973. I was very happy to get it along with lots more. Think she also gave me the white ruffle and the rick rack. I enjoyed making these so much. My first attempt on the chicken scratch. It was so much fun and fast to do. I'm giving these to my daughter Lori and her children, Layla and Ruby. Maybe I can get a picture of all 3 wearing them.

Some of my new things I thrifted and sew

Some ofthe items I thrifted. $.99 pillowcases, a round tablecloth (see below) and a plastic tablecloth to make pillows for my porch.
This apron from the antique mall 1/2 price $2.50
This is a preview of the things I'm making from the tablecloth above. 2 little aprons and one adult apron.
More 1/2 off linens from the antique mall.
A place for some of my aprons.
I'm so proud of my dining room. I never had one until January this year and I love it. My table and chairs bought separately from Craigslist. My husband made the bench.

Big bag of fabric and pyrex

Got this big 15 pound bag of fabric at Goodwill. It was $7.99 but had some nice fabric, so worth it to me.

These are the ones I didn't want. A lot of ugly knits.

Next three pictures are some of the keepers.



Finally found a pyrex loaf dish, not that I was looking for a loaf dish, but I'll take it for $1.99.
A cute skirt vintage skirt pattern I hope I can wear.
