1964 Magazines

What do these two 1964 magazine have to do with my trailer blog? Well they are from 1964 just like Trailer#3, my 1964 Fleet Craft, who I named "Farm Girl on the Loose". I am on the search for more 1964 items for my trailer to use for deco. I am also searching for 1963 items for my Serro Scotty and 1959 items for my Aljo. I love a good Quest!

Look What My Mommy Sent Me!

Look what my mom sent me.... lots & lots of Eyelet lace trim.... I can hardly wait to put them to fun use!

Mom also sent me all these needlework items....

Mom volunteers at a Senior Thrift store...and they get alot of this type of stuff in... but sadly they don't sell well.... Mom paid all of $6.00 for the stash of needlework items and even less for the lace. SCORE! Thanx mommy.... :>)

Look What I Found!

I found this wool/flannel crazy quilt at a 2nd hand store... for 99cents.

I washed it twice and dried it.... it held up wonderfully. Now I plan to remove the pink yarn ties
and replace with brown ties. It will be a lovely addition to my vintage Aljo trailer.

The brown plaid reminds me of my Pendleton jacket..... Someone probably saved up all their wool & flannel clothing scraps and put the pieces to good use....but sadly someone didn't appreciate this dear old quilt,,,,not anymore....it now has a new home and will be used with love.

I Think I Might Have to Sell Some RagRugs...

I just got off the phone with Brenda,,,one of the most sweetest ladies you could ever want to meet... she is planning on doing a 'vintage/antique/craft show' for the weekend of Aug 20th and she is planing to have another one around the weekend of Sept. 17th.... and she has invited me to put some of my crafted creations and antiques in her Sept. show..... thinking, thinking.... sure would be fun and a whole lot less painfull then 'giving blood' to raise fun money! lol!

Anyways, check out Brenda's blog at: http://pastblessings.blogspot.com/

Hmmm, I just might have to make some more rag rugs!
