Shop Stop: Cat Eye Glasses Rubber Stamp

Isn't this cat eye glasses stamp too cute!? Think of all the cute things you could jazz up with it — notecards, gift tags, stationary—even some plain brown shipping paper could be turned into fabulous wrapping paper!

At $6.00, this is a nice find to put in a stocking for the 1950's lover who is also a crafter, or to make your own paper goods stand out!


 

PoshBinky hand carves their stamps, and shipping is very affordable!

If any of my family is reading this, you now know what to buy for me.

Shop Stop: Depression Era Gloves & Scarves Knitting Pattern Book

Christmas is only 83 days away — I know, not the cheeriest thought for some. Anyway, since I'm always on Etsy or Pinterest, I thought I would post some of the things that stand out to give you some ideas for Christmas gifts.....or gifts for yourself, because some things are just that fabulous. ;)

For the knitters and crocheters out there, here is a book of scarf and glove set patterns from the Depression era. Scarves are such a popular homemade gift, but won't your vintage loving friends be surprised when they open up the box to see a reproduction vintage set that you took the time to make?


Iva Rose has many more patterns in her shop. Her books are reproductions, so you don't have to worry about  brittle paper or wear and tear as you take your knitting & pattern with you.
