Remington Letter-Riter

 

 

 

 

 

 

I picked up this old treasure at the op shop last year for $5.

We get it out most school holidays

and everyone has a turn.

It's hours of entertainment for 3 boys,

they find it so fascinating, money well spent

 

See you tomorrow

Retro Swap

A while ago, I participated in a Retro Swap

organised by Bec at Fun With Little Wise Owl

I have a large box of knitting and crochet patterns

that I picked up at a garage sale a while ago.

The lovely ladies above featured in one book.

I scanned the picture and printed it onto some calico,

then used this to make a needle case.

The floral print is from my

mother-in-laws, mother-in-laws stash,

and the pink gingham, bloggless Judy passed onto me.

My needle case went off to

Mel Makes Pretty

From my swap partner,

Linda at Lulufroufrou

 I recieved......

Linda made these delightful wall hangings for the boys

from some vintage fabric.

The are absolutely perfect!

Linda also included some of her lovely creations

for me....thanks Linda.

Top The Lot In Crystal

The elderly lady that lived on the corner

 had a garage last year.

I rummaged through boxes of old treasures for ages.

One of the boxes I bought home was

old knitting, crochet patterns and magazines,

from the early 70's - mid 80's

I have also been involved in a "retro swap"

organised by Bec over at

Fun with little wise owl

so I started hunting through the box 

hoping for some inspiration to stike.

There is so many halarious things in that box.

Thought I would share this one with blog land.

Don't worry fellow swappers,

I have not created one of these to send out.

Not sure if you would call this retro, or just plain ugly.

Jacqueline :)
