Fraggle Rock Library & Tote

This was a boon I found at a local thrift in town last summer. A stack of like new Fraggle Rock hardcover books and a adorable tote bag. I would have love to keep them but my little one is not into the Muppets.

{Sad face}

However, the new owner was thrilled and over the moon. I love matching vintage items with those who will love and adore them. Make me feel all feel-y. :)

I can still sing the theme song and still getting sad and cry on Jim Henson's birthday. Silly Muppets. As a child of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Jim Henson's shows, The Muppets, and Sesame Street were escapes from a a very hard childhood. I poured over books and stared into pictures and illustrations.

Cake Carrier Find 

 Sharing from my private collection. I purchased this estate sale find with the intent of placing it for sale on Ebay--- One look at it and my husband was smitten. We have many Kromex aluminum canisters in our home and private collection. My personal items with few exceptions are practical and put to use. No dust catchers here. This find was a steal at less than five dollars. Impractical for long term storage, this cake cover would make a statement piece or a short distance travel carrier. This cutie is a Regal Aluminum cake cover/carrier/saver. I love it-- How hard is it to cover cakes after the guests go home-- ? Some are super big and you wrestle the cling wrap and lose a ton of icing to the cling wrap. Not good. I love the protection and style that vintage cake covers offer. Thrift and swank. Love it.
