Looky...

what I scored today at the thrift store!



It is so awesome and yet I have no use for it. When I saw it hanging there I knew I had to have it but I didn't really examine it close but when I got it home and took the price sticker off I found this on the inside:
So I got me an original piece of Austria which I think is totally awesome.
Ignore the sticker on the mirror, I tried to get a good shot without it but to no avail. Here's a close up with detail:

The apron is so beautiful with the little dutch people on it and I love the color. It's a good size too so it's useful if I actually wanted to use it, but I think I'll just look at it.

I also picked up these adorable little pin cushions:

I think I got these because the pattern of the material of 2 hearts was like a dress I used to have when I was little and it just brought me back to when my nana was alive. Here's what it looks like:


The lace is different on each set and I think I'm gonna cut them apart and use them as tree ornaments because they all have a little ribbon tab on them. That would be so cute. Or I might give one or two sets as gifts, I haven't decided.

In other news, I'm better now. My throat's not swollen anymore, and I feel good. I think I had strep throat because the day after I went to the doctor there were white spots all ovet the back of my throat and I had a fever, so I guess it's good I went when I did. I'm just glad there's no more coughing.

I'm still unemployed. It just totally sucks to be jobless at Christmas.
