    Love: My mom’s new sink

    Hate: Walmart. Well you knew that, but more specifically the boys got me a set of wire brushes there and the cheapo things couldn’t even last a whole lid cleaning session. I so do not understand the concept of buying cheap things that don’t last. Annoying.

    Love it, love it all.

    Clockwise from top left: Super cool letter game with neat vintage chipboard letters; X-Files card game, it’s the starter pack and Sciarrino and I can’t wait to play (okay maybe this one is not THAT vintage, but hey); awesome apron with kick ass fabric (see the picture of the day for a close up); some funny buttons, I love the kiss me one, was that an ad or something?; old labels and advertisements, cool graphics, future project; the find of the day, a four drawer card catalog; little globe bank, too cute to pass up; another bank (no I don’t collect them, coincidence) this one is a miniature jar!!! It’s less than four inches tall. I love it.

    Wanna see another shot of that card catalog?
    Drawer
    I’ve already pulled out the metal stuff on the bottom and cut mat board to fit. Someday (when I have my own place) I am going to get a huge one of these. Oh and a grain display (for my fabric, how sweet would that be?) But for today I am very happy with these finds.

    The whole card holder part actually sits on a really long shallow drawer. I covered the face of it with paper, ripped out the old ribbon tab and replaced it with ribbon jar ribbon. Like I said, you need to make one of these, fun, fun, fun.
