What a great haul! I just ordered the crocheted flowers last week - I am waiting for them to come in. However I did not see the mini crocheted flowers!!! TYFS! Just finished the whole video and I'm sorry to hear about your condition. You are so right....getting older is a challenge, when you add disease process to that it can affect us in ways that some may not understand. I am thinking of you friend. Take good care.
Awe thank you so much for the shout out Carol! I am so glad you didn't have a mishap, LOL! It would NOT have been funny but it was funny to hear you tell it. I LOVE the ledger by the way. I am going to set up my notification on eBay right now, LOL!!!
The crocheted flowers and mini flowers are so pretty 😍 I love love the large antique paper numbers and symbols tags. Those are awesome! 😎 Thank God for Doctors. We need to take care of ourselves and I think that is good enough advice for everyone 😊 treat yourself to some crafting therapy and look forward to a nice meal after this is all sorted out 👍😊 saying prayers for your health! ❤

Hi Carol, Amber, Astrid, Arnold & triplets. Your shrub roses are gorgeous, God is such an artist 💜. It sounds like you had a wonderful time with your family. The seed packets were lovely. Vintage cards (1900-1970) are rare as hens teeth here in Australia, & when I see one, I'll wrestle anyone to get to it 🤣🤣 (joking). But hooley dooley the catalogue is the bestest.
@SusanneRandall that catalog is great. So happy I found it. I wonder what it would cost to ship some vintage cards to you? There was a whole box full of them when I was there. I'd be happy to pick some up for you!
It may have been a small haul but boy did it pack a punch! Your flowers are gorgeous! I really loved the flip-through of the catalog it’s so fun to see and use the images in these old treasures! TFS! Crafty hugs 🤗 teri
Howdy, Carol! Thanks for sharing your haul. Love seeing vintage items like the auto bridge and sewing patterns. Children's books are always a fav of mine and you can't go wrong with Bambi! (POSSUM!) And thank you for sharing your university town story... super fun hearing about where other folks live! HUGs 💜 Blessings & Bubbles🫧
@JustJournalingwithPossumPatty Hi There! I hope you are doing well! I love children's books too and just running across things that are interesting. I also love to learn about people and listening to them tell their stories. It's fascinating to me!
G'day Carol. I love your mascots too 💜. When I saw your newspaper ads, I got excited. I'd love to see what you're going to do with them. They're 2 years younger than me 😁😋. Thanks for sharing Carol & sending you my prayers & hugs xx
@SusanneRandall i don't have any immediate plans other than to enjoy them. We'll see... maybe tags? I am 10 yrs older than you it sounds like. Hope you are doing well my friend!
Hi Carol. You did a great job with those newspaper adds, pictures and movie/concert pieces. I think I had a pair of one of those Hush Puppies clog type shoes. lol Always fun to see the old papers from our past.
Hi Carol, it's great to be catching up with your vids as I'm home today. Wow the certificates are so decorative & fancy. History there for sure. Such a sweetheart Ben is with the card. I hope he was able to return to his love. The letters are fun. Thanks for sharing Carol xx.
This library card has so much character & color🌈 I love the speech regarding don’t let anyone disrespect you 👍 agreed! And I will be looking at Trudy’s hashtag 😊
You’re so sweet and Trudy is amazing and I can’t wait to celebrate with her! 1k 🎉🥳. I think AI 🤖 messed with your # typing though! Look how it (or AL? Who’s he?) snuck in there. lol 😂 Take care my friend! ❤
Chipmunk shenanigans lol 😂 funny story. Animals are so unpredictable. Almost reminded me of national Lampoons Christmas when the squirrel was in the Christmas tree!
Hiya Carol, I'm catching up on your vids 💜. I really like the wintery Simple Stories. Not specific Christmas so I can use it for here. And it has snowed here in Australia recently. Oh the papers are so cutesy with great colours. I see why it made it's way to your house 😁. That lemon page is my favourite. The inks will be great fun. I'll keep you in my prayers Carol, praying the pain in you back will alleviate soon xx Mr Willy the dog sounds like a rascal, but adorable lol.
I've been told that I should go to thrift stores on the day that they restock the store with new donations. Lopks like blocks for a sample quilt. Have you heard of the website called Dead Fred? They like scans of old photos for family researchers. I've got to apologize to you. I uploaded what my phone took of the stuff I crafted for you for the Christmas in July swap. My phone kept quitting, but I did what I was supposed to do. Hope the bits are okay with you.
@DoloresJRush PS - I've found that some places aren't super open about when they restock. That said it would definitely be the best day for sure. Stuff, the consignment store near me says they restock a 1000 items every day. I think they mean for all their locations 😀
Fabric for 70 cents a pound sounds amazing. Love the photos of the vintage brothers, especially the one with the Christmas tree in the background. Reminds me of my boys.
Nice little haul❤ I would be excited if I saw that pink & blue fabric too!👍 The heavier one is probably a decorator fabric. If there’s a letter for the LGB it would be within the spine of the last page. Hope that’s helpful. Have a great weekend Carol!
Nice to know they feel sturdy. I don’t have a die cutter, which brand is your favorite for the dies? Or are they all mostly comparable? Also love the colors in that painting you did, Carol
@CouleeCraftCorner hi! Dies are not created equal. Taylor Designs or dies from any of the "main stream" companies are good. Temu et all are not as good (thickness etc). However I do have some Temu dies I like. I think if it's a die you think you'll use more often I'd spend the money to get better dies. If you just want to play or need a die for a specific project then Temu or companies like them would be fine. Thanks for liking my painting 😀 - it's a fav if not the most favorite one
Really great finds! Those plant cards are nifty for making covers of notepads, stapled on top with with random papers behind it. and tuck them into a handmade scrapbook paper envelope. Then decorate the top edge of the notepad with whatever you fancy. I used ribbon and buttons. I got the idea from Pam vanee and I think I may be inspired to make some more!
Great finds! Of course I love the Peanuts. The plant cards are more rare than the recipes. Sometimes I feel like we pay more in shipping small items. UPS is beating USPS for heavier packages so you might try listing them as a full set but I do see people selling them in variety packs as well. ❤
Oh Carol, I thought what you sent Sandy was really great! I l loved your tags and the bags you decorated. I also really love the Simple Stories collection you sent to her. TFS! Crafty hugs 🤗 teri
