kluless: Last Weekend's Treasures

Talk about screeching in just under the wire! I'm just barely getting last weekend's goodies posted before a new weekend is upon us. Very, very slammed at the big girl job this week so it screamed by and unlikely I will get out for any junking this weekend. Last weekend was one estate sale and enough goodies to keep me busy for a while.

At least you get to see these all cleaned up instead of my usual pig-pile on the table! You know I collect aluminum "baskets". I usually just stick to those to keep the collection under control but I couldn't resist this little crumb set. I haven't decided if it is headed for Etsy or if I'll keep it for myself.

I love the vintage graphics on the cover of this little scrapbook. It is marked 1947 and even has a few photos inside it. It includes templates that you could trace onto the back of the pictures and then cut them into shapes. Very early scrapbooking!

This is a close-up of the cover on the 1965 Shell Craft booklet. We got a new macro lens for the camera so this was my first try to see just how close I could get it to focus. Close enough that you can see the age on the paper - LOL! Not everything should get a close-up shot!
