Saturday....

Oh where do I begin?  
Well first thing Saturday, hubby dearest and I drove up the mountain to Oakhurst to the Hardware store to pick up a few items as well as to check out the  little community swap meet...and yes, even though I have a garage full of unpacked boxes,, I still managed to find a few must haves to bring home...

The wedding dress pattern is from 1960 and was used,, I can't even imagine making a dress like this... The little Conestoga Wagons is/are a salt & pepper shaker set from good old Knottsberry Farm. They have the little oval shaped paper stickers on the bottom that say, 'Made in  Japan'... so I am guessing pre 1970's....
I luv the tissue box and dusting powder holder...perfect for my vintage camp trailer.
The wooden knitting needles are Ginormous! ,, I don't know why I bought them,,, as I don't knit! lol!

So after we had fun at the swap meet we drove over to another vintage shop that was going out of business... and yep, more 'must haves'...

 Score! a sweet vintage apron pattern...

 I could not resist this sweet childs hand made underslip...

 hand stitched on netting... it is very fragile and very beautiful.

 I scored a total of 27 vtg sewing patterns...

 The child's  underslip, 2 pairs of leather  ladies gloves, a vtg. ladies floral hat...

 stitched linens and this lovely pillow cover...

and last but not least... this fun  1970's ladies day dress with applique trim.

Then hubby dearest and I headed back to our community were the annual Tarantula Fest was going on... and yep, both hubby and I took turns holding a tarantula...

 This is a 'big' hand carved wooden tarantula on top of a building... did I mention Big?

Gary holding his newest friend... yes, I held it to, but forgot to have Hubby take a photo.

I love a good Saturday play day... how about you?
