Making Do

 There were no estate sales inside my driving bubble this weekend and slim pickings at the thrift so I had to make do with some bottom feeding at The Bins.  Junking, one teeny, tiny piece at a time.
 This vintage Paris scarf was worth the long drive over there.  I will show the whole thing when I get it cleaned up and ironed. 
 Yes, that is a plastic elephant.  It's kind of funny what you pick up when you are paying $1.69 a pound.  There is another elephant somewhere in this heap.
 Oh look, they are both in this picture.  Very, VERY vintage plastic deer that I got home and realized their ears are missing.  Good grief, now that will be a challenge.
 I got a total of nine bells.  Those blue Christmas bells will do well with a coat of blue glitter.
 There are three vintage German Putz-type sleighs.  Those will need a little glitter-love, as well.
A vintage sewing pattern, a dreamy vintage negligee, many snippets of embroidery, a rose stencil, millinery rose bunches and some sewing trims.  Bells and elephants.  Go figure.
Some days you really have to squint your eyes to see the possibilities!
