Vintage Crochet Flag Motif

It seems the last couple items I listed on Etsy were quite popular. They were hardly up for long and now are heading out to their new homes. A lovely dark kelly green vintage blouse, and a matched set of brightly colored sheets are on their way. Still in the shop are some other interesting items recently listed: a vintage hand-crocheted US flag motif, some new patterns and one of my vintage apron tote bags, which, by the way, my tote bag tutorial was featured in a new crafty blog called Just Something You Made.

New Fall Finds

Lately, I've picked up a number of great knitting patterns and other nifty accessories. Enjoy browsing my newest finds:

Stitch up something warm for fall with these two shawl leaflets from the 70s and this great sock pattern booklet from 1950. In fact, I forgot to mention that the shawl booklets were featured on the Etsy Vintage Street Team "Daily Dose" on Sept. 22nd !

Keep your slippers or shoes in fine fit with these shoe stretchers.

Go back to your childhood with a delightful, collectible Flatsy doll from the late sixties.
