It's a stellar day here in Minnesota. Sunny skies, high in the 70's, the tulips are at their peak, the crabapple trees are beginning to burst with color.
The perfect day to walk by the lake and have a BBQ. I went to an estate sale
here today (and yesterday). Today everything was
half off and I came home with a haul. I found this wonderful handmade baby blanket for my daughters room. Her theme is raggedy dolls and this looks perfect on her wall! Look at those little dresses made out of vintage hankies. Adorable:)
I also found this set of wonderful alphabet stamps. Two different sizes, complete sets. I've been looking for a large set for ages. The little wagon was too cute to pass up.
I love this pull toy duck I found. It quacks and I collect pull toys. I think this is a vintage repro. The kids love it too! I also bought a printing block, that
Lilli is going to have to give me some tips on carving my own stamps out of. Finally, I bought a pair of vintage patent leather doll shoes, perfect for the cover of my Book of Dreams book. I was inspired by
this.

What fun finds! What a great weekend.
Lucky you! Great weather and a great haul!
I've just tried to leave you links to pics and info on my blog about carving stamps, but I guess the URLs are too long to leave in this comment forum (they got cut off).
Let me know when you're ready to dive into the rubber and I'll help you then :)
