Gifts from Sisterita!

We have all established that Erica spoils me rotten.  It is like Christmas every time she comes to visit or I go to visit because she picks me up goodies all the time.  I know she feels sorry for me in my sad thrifting land but I also know she loves giving gifts.  During my last visit she had a whole bunch of lovely things for me and it's time to share.

First, she cleaned out her pretty pillowcase stash and gave a bunch to me.  She also picked up the pretty orange poppy sheet and orange rose sheet for me to complete a sewing project with.

She also picked up the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland record along with the Bambi record for me.  I found Dumbo and Puff the Magic Dragon at an estate sale a few weekends ago. Dumbo is told by Shirley Temple, super cute.

I love the Bambi graphic, it makes me smile.

Here are few more random goodies.  An embroidered parrot table runner, a vintage book about rocks and minerals, some squirrel friends, and more bird glasses.  Maddie also found me the Berggren Trayner cheese grater that says, "May the wind always be at your back."  I keep saying I'm going to stop collecting Berggren Trayner, but I just can't stop.  I will have to share all of that collection some time.

Here's a closeup of the Japan squirrels.  Such sweet little rodents

My collection of these glasses is getting big!  Erica picked up 2 more last week, one being a bird I don't already have.  I really love that they have their scientific names on them, although some of the names have changed since they first made these glasses.

Last, but not least, my patience paid off.  I waited for this Pyrex Woodland to go 1/2 off at Goodwill and it finally did!  I've looked at this darn thing for like 2 weeks, but never gave in to my urges.

Summer seems to be flying by.  I always think I'm going to have all the time in the world and then I remember that it is my time to play catch up after teaching all year.  I've been doing a ton of cleaning and organizing but it seems to be never ending.  There is finally some good news to share though.  I resigned from my teaching job last week, which was bittersweet.  The bright side is I will be teaching full time from home come fall.  It will be a huge change, but it has its perks.  One of them being, it is going to be easier for me to move closer to my Sisterita!  Lets hope my husband finds a job in the valley soon so I can enjoy more Erica time and better thrifting.

There's a chance Erica may come see me next week, I'm crossing my fingers!
