from my childhood: childcraft

Found these beauts at a local thrift shop earlier this week! A complete set of vintage 1979 Childcraft: The How and Why Library books, volumes 1-15 plus the 1981 annual The Bug Book. They are currently available in my vintagesugar Etsy shop! I had a set of these when I was a child and they were my favorite books! I have no idea what happened to my set... wish I knew. Luckily my husband still has his set from when he was a child to pass onto our kids. Did every kid growing up in the 80s have these along with the World Book encyclopedias? ;)

I was super lucky to find these SX-70 OneStep Polaroid Land Cameras at a local thrift for $5 each! I never thought I'd find these in the wild. I guess my daily thrift trips have been paying off! Now all I need is film... :)

This is what I do with empty baby food jars and vintage buttons. :)

surviving christmas

We survived yet another holiday season! And so did these lovelies (in my shops that is). If our house wasn't already filled to the brim and hoarding was socially acceptable I'd keep them all to myself! Won't you consider giving these charming pieces a good home? Christmas will be back before we know it! ;)

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I've been very busy with work, family and shop sales. I wish I had time to photograph and share all my wonderful vintage finds with you here. In the meantime you can find me on Instagram sharing the occasional vintage find, family fun and our Disneyland adventures. It's an easy way to stay share on the go!
