Over a year ago, I picked up this vintage sewing circle set from a local thrift store. The colors and graphics inspired me! I wish more kits were made like this today. It is just so adorable.
I’ll prob. just use this more for something to prop up. I did think about making a garland out of the circles. I think that would be pretty sweet! Here’s some cute detail photos of the set 🙂
Until next time Swellions!
I went to some fun antique shops in Clovis today. I didn’t really purchase much of anything, but I did have fun scouting out kitschy stuff that made me smile. I’m a sucker for anything a little goofy or pop culture vintage. Here are some fun finds…
The Magic Show Poster. So campy.
I’m not sure what the name of this monkey is, but I thought he was pretty cute.
This 70’s pinball was fab. And $800.
You can’t resist Howdy Doody!
This vintage packaging made me smile.
This was incredibly weird to me. It’s a figurine depicting anxiety and depression in Mexico in 800 A.D. Hmm, I wonder why it was made to begin with.
I had a great weekend, I hope you did too!
Until next time Swellions!

A week or so ago, me and Pattiewack went thrift shopping in downtown Fresno. I don’t usually buy a ton of stuff when I go thrifting. I do find a few occasional steals that I can’t pass up, but a lot of my trip is for amusement. I love the juxtaposition of crap in thrift stores and how random the items are. On top of that, I love all of the little items that come out of the woodwork. I thought I’d share a few of these today!
i actually think these clowns are quite cute. I like their stripes and their smiles. BTW, I have always liked clowns. They were in my bedroom as a child and they seemed more sad/emotive than scary to me. So when I see knick knacks like this, it warms my heart.
Not quite getting this, but I guess you can’t go wrong with a cat in a swashbuckler hat and a flesh tone stuffed baby.
A little disturbing, don’t you think?
Pattie found a clown with it’s pants down!
Make it stop! I think these are really goofy. I’ve had a fascination of late with the idea of spray painting characters like this. I guess they are supposed to look all antique-y and baroque like this, but I like the idea of modernizing them.
Gotta love a package of adult diapers at the thrift store…and the name is classic! I will prevail wearing my adult diapers!
This one isn’t all that funny…more quaint and cute. See you really can find a wide variety of stuff! You just have to keep your peepers open!!
Hope you have a great Tuesday! Until next time Swellions!
