Here are a few fun vintage finds I've found here and there over the last month or so. The cutie leather sandals are definitely vintage and I'm hoping will fit baby #4 next summer. The flower pot seems to be vintage. The label was old and it was made in Japan. The leather purse is a guess as well, if not vintage it was a cool handmade find. The patterns are all from the late sixties and early seventies. I hit the jackpot and scored these for about thirty-five cents a piece. I was giddy with excitement as I pulled one great style after another from the pattern pile at my local thrift store. Most of them are close enough to my size to modify I think (other than the girls dress and coat of course. Those my girls will get to benefit from). I'll be tinkering with that after I lose my baby weight. If I'm going to put all the time and effort in I want to be able to wear the pieces for a long while :).
*If anyone knows how to control what order the photos occur on Blogger please clue me in. I had a system a while ago and it no longer works! Was also going to post more close-ups of patterns but Blogger is being weird, sorry!

What fun! I just scored a bunch of vintage notions for a song. I love your vintage purse and patterns and am sure you're going to have fun with them!
As far as the photos go, most the time I can drag and drop them into the correct order after I upload them. The times that hasn't worked (gotta love the inconsistency), if I select photos for upload in the order that is exactly the reverse of what I'm aiming for, it seems to work. Those are my only blogger photo tweaking tips, and I hope they help.
These are awesome finds! those sandals are so cute and the patterns are just way cool- even cooler that you can actually follow them! ;)
as far as pictures go, all the pictures i upload are surrounded by a faint blue border, if i click on one, it makes the blue border bold and that is the one that is put into my post. i think if you upload a bunch at a time they are all "bold" so i have to unselect them and then click on and "bold" them individually. I have no idea if that's how it is for everyone or not. ;) hope it helps. :)
Where did you find the patterns? You must have way more patients then me every time i am in there it is always a mess and i get mad because there are so many people that i usually end up leaving before i look at anything :)
The Hoffers— I found the patterns at The Arc. My husband drove the kids around while I ran in. I think I just hit the jackpot and got lucky. They didn't have many patterns, in fact I had never seen any before. These were all right next to each other. I just kept pulling them out and getting more and more excited. I think I paid $4 or less for all of them :).
Wow $4! that is really cheap!! I went in there once the other weekend when they had their half off sale but didn't find anything. They are not as nearly busy as Goodwill that's for sure!
