Vacation Prize

I just got back from visiting family in Denver, CO. Turns out, Denver is awesome! All the houses seem to be made of brick and perfectly covered with ivy, the air smells great, and the mountains are beautiful. I did a teeny bit of shopping with my mom and she bought me these paper dolls. I swear, I did some nature stuff too.

I hit the Oakland Museum of CA's White Elephant Sale last weekend. What an amazing place! A 19,000 square foot warehouse filled with gems that were practically being given away. I got a bunch of craft books, over 20 hardbound classics ($4 to fill a grocery bag), and some bits and bobs for under $10!

This sweet needle set was 50 cents. Since we went late in the day on Sunday, all items were half-price. Score!

Butch Beaver, from a sock craft book.

I really like these pillows!

Excellent colors from a Jaeger pattern pamphlet.

I actually got this above stuff at Pauline's Antiques in Alameda on Saturday, another place I've been meaning to go forever. I have the matching cup to this plate, so I was blown away when I found it!

My new best friend for spring! I love these little honeycomb paper guys. All in all, it was a banner weekend; I mean, I left the house both days!
