This week for show and tell I would like to show you a few things that I got at the thrift store this week. 
This lot of vintage patterns was $1.00! I really like the apron pattern that is 2nd to the left on the top. The pattern beside it is strange, the Advance pattern, it says view A and B are aprons. (a and b are the two smaller photos on the left) it says view c is a poncho! (view c is the red garment with the blue hat) does anyone get that? I also like the housecoat pattern with the heart shaped pockets. I will definitely use the apron pattern, the others I may sell. 
When I pulled this garment out of my bag, my son said "Mom, please tell me you are not going to wear that anywhere!". I told him I might, but in reality I wouldn't I just bought this top for the trim that is on it. The picture doesn't do it justice but the braided gold trim with rhinestones is so pretty! This was also $1.00
This last item was bought at a yard sale last weekend. I don't have very many primitives in my house but I loved this doll! She now sits on my petticoat mirror in the foyer. I have no idea what she would have cost retail but I paid $15.00 for her. I am calling her Elizabeth.
For more show and tell, head over to http://kellishouse.blogspot.com and join the fun.Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Oh my, I love those patterns. Especially the apron one. Good find.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I enjoyed seeing the patterns. I used to sew quite a bit...but no more. That doll is amazing!
Those are great finds! I have given many old patterns to thrift stores -- I am glad to know someone buys them! That trim is just gorgeous! What a great buy! And the doll is lovely. Her name suits her.
I love Elizabeth!!! You couldn't have chosen a more perfect place for her to be either....love the mirrored effect.
My Show N Tell is all native american, and mostly jewelry. Won't you stop by. [you'll have to scroll down below my book review for the commenting link tho!] Happy weekend.
love your doll!!! and isn't that a typical comment for a boy. My sons would have said the same thing !!! hahhah
Those patterns are vintage, for sure and it's not easy to find apron patterns anymore. I also like the housecoat pattern.
Mom has hundreds of patterns from the late 1940s until present day. She is an avid sewer.
Thanks for sharing. You sure got a good bargain.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my bird music box from my aunt. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
Blessings,

Great vintage patterns. We donated many of Grandma's patterns when she passed. She has literally boxes and I had no where to store them. I think you got some great bargains in your thrifting!
:)
Great buys!! I especially love your prim doll. She's precious. Can't wait to see that apron when it's made!! Have a great weekend!
Hi Linda, Oh you brought back some sweet memories with those patterns! My mom sewed a lot of our clothes when we were young and of course I sew some too. Haven't used a pattern like that in years though! FUN FUN! And I just love Elizabeth. She looks Victorian to me so she fits nicely into your home! Oh - my wooden buckets are called firkins. :-) Thanks for stopping by! hugs, Linda
LOL - some Russian guy's blog is under Linda on your list! Check it out!
hugs, Linda
Love the doll she is very prim
and proper and perfect where she's
sitting! Oh, I remember those
glam-glittery fabrics/trims from the late 1960's, and the silver
shoes and purses to match. Fun!
I agree with you on the weirdness of the first pattern! the apron pattern looks real nice. I haven't made a pinafore style one yet, but I did get a pattern for one. I'll get to it.
I received my egg today. It's gorgeous. I like the way it has its own little felted spot to sit on. It's right at home with the others. Thank you so much!
Lizi will write to you.
I like the doll. I don't do primitives much either, but that one is very nice.

The patterns are so fun, Linda! I really like the apron. I also like the pretty trim...I hope you will share what you use it for and the doll is too sweet!

Great finds at the thrift store. I hope you'll show us what you make with the lovely trim.
Have a great weekend.
I like the housecoat pattern. It reminds me of the stuff my mother wore...Kathy
Your doll is very nice. I have not seen a doll like that recently.
What great finds. The patterns back then looked like art. Boy seeing them sure does bring back memories. Smart girl buying a piece of clothing for a fraction of what you would pay for the trim.
I think Elizabeth was meant to sit in that little spot she looks great. Thanks for sharing
Roxy
Looks like we both did well yardsale-ing this week! I liked seeing your patterns.
Kimba
What great finds! I love that doll :)

She looks like the perfect 'Elizabeth'...very pretty and proper! I like her. And...I've been so 'in the mood' to sew something. Your patterns look enticing. =)
Thanks for sharing with us. I enjoyed you blog, can't wait to come see what else you have to share.
