Miniature Photographs Northern Vermont State

This small packet which contains the 8 photos has a stamp box on the back side and lines for address but today it would be too small for mailing. I like these tiny photos (2 1/2 in by 3 1/2 in)k because they are actual real photos.
I would guess these mini souvenir photographs are from the 1950's or 1960's. They originally sold for 25 cents.

Dyed Ribbons, Fabric Cuffs & Flea Market Finds


I dyed these ribbons with Easter Egg dye. It was a fun project, cheap and easy. I got this idea in Somerset Life by Stampington and Co.

Went shopping the other day, garage sales, consignment store and a Flea Market.
What fun finds, jewelry, vintage beaded trim for sewing projects, pins, wild handmade earrings, and even a Postcard.


Fabric CuffsAnother idea from Somerset Life.



Finished and ready to finish fabric cuffs.
Glad I was able to add three entries for today in my blog. I get such wonderful craft, sewing ideas from the many blogs I read. And blogs about collecting postcards are of great interest.

Rving with the Snowbirds, Laughlin Nevada Postcard

We have stayed 3 times in this RV park connected to the Riverside Casino in Laughlin Nevada across from Bullhead City Arizona. 750 spaces and mostly empty the first 2 times we stayed in the summer. We received this postcard last month with a special one week getaway. Well we went for just 2 nights after Presidents Day and the RV park looked just like this picture. FULL We did not have reservations but got a space for 2 nights. (cancellations) Just run your finger a few inches to the area at the lower left hand corner for our space. Its off the postcard. This park and others were full. It was 73 degrees and license plates on the RVs were from all over the United States, especially the cold states. 2000 at least RVs in the area. But fun fun and more fun with a great buffet. Also the shuttle boat took you across the Colorado River. Our 8 year old niece wanted to go out of state so we accomodated her. A fun trip in February.
