Hi, only just found this here blog and I love it!
That doll doodle is amazing, surely saleable as a piece of art.
Just going back to read some more, I spotted some pink plastic so that's me sold.

Well, I would have to swim across the pond to make it to this, but I can't wait to see the treasures you found. Thanks for sharing and love your blog.

I like these - a lot. They would be lovely in a row, "hands" connected as if they were paper dolls. I love the way they have a folky/peasanty look to them.

Dear Elaine - the reason why your purse took a little longer is because yours is beautifully done and I notice that you lined yours (I was too hasty in getting the job done as always) - lovely choice of fabricos! I know exactly what you mean about the zipping and unzipping - I forced everyone to gather round and watch me zip and unzip over, and over, and over again. Each zipping, for me, was as just as exciting as the first! simple things. Lovely things that you won - I have only every won a crocheted Poodle cover when I was 9, runner up in a Blue Peter competition when 12 and some art stuff...oh just remember a pen from the Tree Lover's League (do you remember that?).

I AM AMAZED at the unzipping/rezipping coin purse. Amazed, I say! Will have to see if my brain's scientific enough to follow the tutorial, what a great gift idea! And I love the collage notebook you won in the giveaway. Even for a cloudy day, nice shares! :)

2012-04-29T08:03:20.428+01:00

I envy people who can collage, I can never get it right....... so that notebook is an absolute gem in my eyes. Your card and purse are such lovely things and I have no doubt that the recipient will love them. I popped over to look at the instructions for the purse and it looked mighty complicated. However, I get the feeling that once you have made one then it will all "fall into place".

I love the Jubilade!
I've been stalking all kinds of royal stuff for my jubilee charity swap, but that's definitely the coolest thing I've seen!

2012-04-27T17:39:32.303+01:00

Hello K&C E. I love the card you made because it gives the impression of a little crowd of benign, smiling faces. And that purse -- how clever is that! It's like some sort of philosophical impossibility, or a Moebius strip, or summat. I am impressed. You wouldn't get too many 50p's in it, I imagine, but honestly is that the point? No it is not.

Fame at last! Brilliant post Elaine.

How fun! It's always exciting when institutions recognize our collections (no matter how small).

What treasures!! I would wear all of them at the same time! Fabulous. Good luck with the rest of your boxes, hopefully they'll be just as full of things-you-forgot-you-loved. :)

'Vintage' + 'Jumble' = Jealous.
What are the pink plastic umbrella and hands for? I think I love them but not if they are for wafting 1960s room freshener around your lounge ... Are they for very camp vicars to swing their incense in, perchance?

Weather is definitely lifting my mood. Wish I cold have got to the Vintage Jumble - so near but so far, sigh....

Very delicious ~Elaine. Fickle finger of fate as I too was able to purchase two dresses at the weekend suitable for the larger girthage (me not you!). Love all your purchases and can relate to the upliftingness of buying. Glad that the Vintage Jumble was happy sailing...
