Pine cone babies. From an earlier nature idea from a tiny found pine cone, we set off to make these babies during our movie night. We wrapped the yarn over the 'body' and tied fabric 'scarves' around their little heads. Then, we drew their sleepy eyes...
Thrift scores. An old friend and I went to my favorite local haunt where I gathered some nice lovelies for myself but scored on something Nat has been wanting for awhile. A beautiful emerald Asian dress, like it was absolutely meant to be....
Love for old books. We went to Uptown Whittier for a tiny bit and of course, stopped by the new and used bookstore there. Natalie went straight to the children's area where she quickly picked up several books to show me, a couple of them old hardbacks. She told me since she 'likes old things' she 'would love to have these old books because they are old'. We obliged her one, The Tale of Paddy Muskrat by Arthur Scott Bailey (A Sleepy Time Tale) from 1916. I picked up an old favorite of mine, The Wizard of Oz in a portable paperback to tote around with me as well.

I love days when the surprises just keep on coming.
I love your nature babies, what a sweet craft!
That silk dress does indeed look like it was made for Nat. What a cutie!
So many things to love in the post! I think that dress is absolutely GORGEOUS! And, the book finds are amazing!!!
Wonderful Wizard of Chinese Dress, indeed. What a lovely post.
I'm absolutely loving the pinecone babies. When I was little we used to make pinecone cows by inserting sticks into the cone's scales to make them stand up.
