Tell Me Some More . . .
I bought this book for the great big rocket ship photo! Something about big red rockets is really appealing to me. I love vintage science illustrations and this one is a classic!

Woodworking: A Father Son Activity Book
This book is tiny, but so useful and simple to follow! And because the projects are vintage, they're so charming too! I'd love to make the cut-out turtle or squirrel!

Vintage White Pillow Case with Eyelet Border
I love eyelet patterns and white on white embroidery. Makes me kind of wish I had a little girl who could wear a pillowcase dress. (But little boys are wonderful, too.)
Green Toile de Jouy Border Bedsheet
I still like the Toile style, even though it's possibly out of fashion now. I'd possibly make a fancy robe out of this, if I could!
