This & That!
I made some more journals yesterday...
Serendipity!
Some recent finds from one of my favorite stores in Old Town Temecula, CA. A set of sweet candle holders, a darling pair of vintage pillowcases, a set of 8 PINK bowls, and my favorite find...this pattern! I was so excited to have found this pattern! This is the pattern we used for my sister-in-laws wedding in 1967! I was 15 with a short haircut as the picture and 103 lbs.!Our dresses were a sweet mellow-yellow and I felt wonderful and sassy! Ahhh, the 60's!
My sweet friend Elyse @ cottage makes the cutest goodies! I have lots of her darling organizers and clips. I decided to use one of the cans to hold my water bottle! I always know where I put it! Cute idea, huh Elyse!
Feel free to give me a jingle anytime! Day or Night!
Feel free to give me a jingle anytime! Day or Night! I'll be waiting!

Hi Maryjane
I use to sew alot when I was young and I remember having that pattern. It was very popular! I should check my Mom's closet for all our old patterns, she never throws anything away!
I just love your journals. So cute!

Hi, Mary Jane, my name is Holly and I'm a new follower!
Don't you just love it when you find something strait from days gone by? I wish I still had the dress that I wore to my brother's wedding in the 7os.
Your journals are really cute. ☺
I always like your posts Maryjane, just musing over the patterns, I mainly knit or cross stitch, there was a time when I did make a skirt or a blouse I might start something again. best wishes Julie.C
What great finds! That pattern looks familiar. I remember something similar that we made, and the trim was daisies. I think we also made a little scarf (remember those triangle shape scarves?) to match, with the same trim.
It's great to go back!!! ;)

Hi Maryjane,
I love your blogs! I cant believe patterns were only 75 cents, although that was probably pricey then. how great that you found that pattern!
How fun to find a pattern that you had...I've done that a few times myself.
Maryjane...I just love your journals!
I'm so glad that I was able to get a couple of them from your etsy.
You are so talented.

Hello Maryjane...
I just wanted to stop by after you left me such a sweet note on my "Celebration Giveaway" post...you also had checked out my little camping trailer and weekend getaway to the mountains! Thank you so much for coming by and for your sweet note! I checked out your vintage Jewel trailer and ohhh, it is a beauty!!! My friend, you have decorated it soooo sweetly!!! Also really enjoyed seeing some of your new treasure finds...love those pretty pink bowls and embroidered pillowcases!!!
Thanks again, for coming by!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
PS...wishing you the best with my book giveaway!
Neat patterns. I remember when I got married about 20 some years ago a lot of the dresses had those bows on the back. I really liked them. I love your journals you made too.
Hello Maryjane, I love your journals, each one is soooo cute. I remember that pattern, I think I might have had it too! I love your craft room in previous post. I need organization like that!
BLess you, Shirl
