A vintage surprise!
Hi everyone, hope your weekend is off to a great start!
My weekend is starting off with a surprise parcel from a dear blogging friend!
I have been doing some hand stitching lately, and started searching for a "real thimble."
The kind you buy at the craft store today are not the type I remember my Mom using.
My friend, Linda from
sent me 2 beautiful antique thimbles from her Etsy shop, along with some other surprises!
Here are a few other goodies Linda sent with the thimbles.
This vintage Bingo card, I've seen these on blogs before, but never in person. Linda knows how much I
like vintage games. She always finds a lot of really neat game pieces.
Rick Rack
I remember Mom using Rick Rack on some of my dresses when I was a little girl.
I also love reading the packaging here, it was "laboratory tested" by J.C. Penney & Co.
Beautiful fall colors of seam binding and cotton thread!
I just had to show you one more view of the thimbles.
Look at the little bird etched on the small thimble, isn't that neat?
Thanks again Linda, I love everything!
I hope you'll visit Linda's Blog to see all of her beautiful vintage finds, and see what she has in her Etsy shop.
This photo is from a selection of photos I took in my courtyard the other day.
I was taking them directly into the afternoon sunlight.
A professional would probably wonder what the heck I was thinking taking the photo into the sun, but I kind of like the effect I got, what do you think?
Just wanted to also send out a Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my blogging friends in Canada!
I'm off to enjoy some more of this beautiful weather we are having.
See you soon,
Becca

Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Thank you for visiting and for the Thanksgiving wishes on your blog here. I am Canadian.
I love your photographs, to me you are a professional and I don't believe in rules either, I love what you captured in the sunlight :) I do the same too.
You gifted thimbles are gorgeous, great second shot of them too, lovely gifts from your friend.
What a fabulous package to receive. The etched thimble is gorgeous!
