We’re back

We spent Thanksgiving in CT with my in-laws and came back on Saturday. I managed to get some thrifting and some shopping done in New London, of all places. I found this incredibly cute tape measure at a place called Agent.

These cards are from there, too. This one

is from Kamibashi a very cool business that brings Japanese imports to lots of stores all over the US. You can also get stuff on their website – check out these string dolls – a mummy and a ninja. So great.

And this card is from Yee Haw Industries, a company that makes letterpress stationary. I got the one on the far left, but I just love this whole birdie series.

At the Salvation Army I found these two great cloth napkins. They are almost like canvas and would make a nice tote

And this super soft mustard-colored scarf, shown here with some 1950’s woven ribbon I just won on ebay.

Goes to show you that downtown New London actually does have some good shopping. I’m working now on a sock monkey for my friend Austin who just had her third boy last week. She named him Murphy so this is going to be a monkey for Murphy.
