dan is jamming in my ear as i type. he's playing music at the waldorf school christmas bazaar on saturday and so is rehearsing now.

this evening i ran off to the thrift store in search of pans to melt beeswax in for the candle dipping activity at the bazaar. i found no pans but i found many other treasures. i'm quite pleased with my haul.

first off, gnomama:



and then, the elf slipper:



and this wee seat:



and this whole box of sliver bulbs for $1. they're even made in the u.s.a. does anyone besides me call them bulbs?:



and this very sweet vintage golden book:





and joy of joys, the spca thrift store has a craft section!!!!! i found loads of bias tape, lace, rick rack and embroidery floss stuffed into a couple bags:



and lastly, i thought the embroidery was very sweet on these homemade placemats and napkins. a nice setting for the picnic table on a spring day:



spring day? bah humbug. we want snow!!!!!
