You've probably seen Margaret Keane's paintings before. They're from the 60s and the girl have huge eyes. I find them creepy but cute at the same time. She's really famous and her paintings sell for thousands. I was on eBay the other night and found this print for sale. It reminded me of Gracie & Emma so I had to have it. It is huge and came with another large print (this one) for free!
I need to get a better frame. I'm saving for vacation, so I'm trying to be good with money. I got this cheap frame to keep it protected & displayed until I can get a nice frame. Right now it's propped up on my dresser because I'm not sure where to hang it. The other print is safely covered and rolled up. I tend to buy lots of art then never get around to hanging it!

Today I went thrifting at NESAP in Hampstead. This was only my second time being there, but I really like the place. It is organized so well and there is a pretty good selection. The prices are far too. Today I got 9 books, 5 sets of knitting needles with multiple needles in each set, and a vintage bowl for only $15.75! They have buy one book get one book free, so I saved some money there. The books on average were $1.50. The knitting needles were all 50 cents and the big ones were $1.50. My bowl was $3.50. There were a lot of bowls I liked there, but I don’t even own my own kitchen yet so I didn’t buy them all. My dad said he will build me a chest to keep all my kitchen finds safe until I move out. Here are my finds:
1. My knitting hasnt progressed. I think I need to sign up for knitting classes.
2. I had lunch with my boyfriend. Who will be leaving for tour soon, and I am going to miss him a lot.
3. I found some good things at Goodwill today:
4. I made lemon blossoms:
5. I finally started scanning some pages from books i have thrifted:

Today I went thrifting (going to Goodwill & stores like it). I wanted to find some interesting baking tins, books, and 50s mixing bowls. I didn't find any bowls, but i accomplished the first two goals.
I found adorable mini tins for $2:
and some extra large & mini muffins tins.
I also found a bunch of vintage quilting books and i found a book on 50s style in modern homes. Some photos i scanned that I'm keeping for reference for my future home:
