Thrifting Excitement!
I absolutely adore thrift stores. I mean seriously, cheap clothes, home decor, fabric… what’s not to love about that?
Usually I go in with an eye for repurposing, but on my recent visit, I found a book that nearly had me squealing with delight in the aisle.
I almost passed it by, but I’m so glad I didn’t. This little gem is 30 years old [is that considered vintage? If so, then so am I…] and is filled with patterns and instructions for all things baby.
This jumpsuit makes me desperately want to learn to knit something other than a scarf.
I don’t crochet, but I need to after seeing this picture.
Oh the loveliness of this coat!
This romper has a zipper in the front. Oh how much I love it.
Brilliant.
Must. make. these.
My boys need this.
There are so many delightful patterns in this book, and I can’t wait to try them out! [Insert excited squeal here!]
Have you found any exciting thrift store finds lately? Please share!

What a FUN book! :) Can’t wait to see what you make from all those patterns, ideas, etc.
Good luck on all those! I wish I had the drive and patience to even learn a scarf!
Please read my blog!
Golden Hands, yes? I’m sure I made that beanbag!
What a fun find! Can you post the publisher/ author I’d love to get me one of these. I love old school baby crafts.
