Vintage Amour

I"ve been trying to figure out how I want to decorate this year for Valentine's.  So, I decided to browse Etsy and see if I could find a theme. I think I found it.

 Vintage Amour.  

A little bit vintage.  A little bit french.

Also made a treasury list of my favorite finds found here.  Enjoy!

Grandma's Basement

Recently, my Mother-in-law retired from teaching and has been cleaning out her basement full of treasures. Being that I am the only one in the family that has children, I have been getting most of the treasures. Ooo-da-lolly!

While rummaging through our latest box, we found a whole stack of records. We were especially excited about the Disney Picture discs. Cinderella, Mary Poppins and that kind of sort.

There was a sewing set that is so cute. The box says "Let Me Sew Too" in several different languages from 1974.

My favorite is the gnome phonics word builder set. It's complete and perfect for Mia. She loves it and although I adore the cute little gnomes, I am more excited that she likes doing the worksheets. I thought it was clever that the worksheets slide into a plastic cover which you wrote your answers on (with the plastic crayons that were still in the box) and then flipped the worksheet over to correct your answers.

The box has seen better days but I hope to find a replacement box that I can decorate with the original packaging.

We also got a vintage Star Wars t-shirt and Star Trex t-shirt, vintage patterns and trim and lots of other little worksheets and goodies.

This has been so much fun and can't wait to see what other goodies come our way!
