Here's some eye candy from a recent shopping expedition in four shops in rural and urban Saskatchewan. I found some $5/metre lipstick fabric for a cool pillowcase, and some more word and letter fabric for my word quilt.
Here are my real finds from a thrift store, all for less than $5 total -- four embroidered blocks, a purse closure for 20 cents, a vintage quilt pattern book, and a tote crocheted from wool yarns, perfect for carrying small projects, and trendy in a retro sort of way.
These blocks are cross-stitched, and each are slightly different.
I stopped at Shirley's Sewing Room in Moosomin on the way home and found some 1930s prints to coordinate with the blocks. Maybe I'll make a small tablecloth. Anyone have some other ideas?

What great finds at the thrift store. I am never that lucky. Maybe I don't shop enough at the right time. I like your lipstick fabric.
