just my type

a few great finds this week. hit up three thrift shops, the humane society's rummage sale and an antique mall. of course i never find too much to my liking. mostly craft findings: zippers, fabric and an occasional home accessory. i found these old press letters at the antique mall. didn't purchase them but i may return and make a "westphal" purchase. i like the look and feel of the type. i already have a place in mind.

i should be updating on sunday. busted out the polymer tonight and have a few sewing projects close to done. hopefully the weather cooperates this weekend. we've got plans with the moores and i need a sunny day to take decent photos. fingers crossed.

nope, they're pretty light. they are $2.50 a letter. i'm probably going back there to get some for us. if you want me to pick some up for you, let me know.
