....is NOT pictured above- but it's such a good combination that I thought I'd share.

- craisens
- whatever vinaigrette or non creamy Italian dressing you have on hand.
Karla (Karla's Cottage) and I went estate sale shopping this morning. I found a few vintage sewing goodies. 
We found this bag of great metallic trim and braid to split (but I forgot to give Karla her half- for shame!) 
And we bought a vintage nature atlas to share with great pictures of wildflowers, birds, trees & fish- betcha can't wait to see what we do with those! 
I also picked up sterling silver Mexican hors duerves picks- because you can never have enough formal Southwestern canape holders!
Karla and I have both been putting together collage and paper packages- both to sell and to give away on our blogs. We decided we should do a swap and make a package for each other. You know how Karla makes everything so nice in her blog- pretty table settings, real roses, nice bows on everything- just nice little extra touches everywhere. She gave me my collage package in a Target bag!
That is so UNLIKE her- but I think it's kind of funny- I keep teasing her that I'm going to come over with my camera and do a picture expose of "The Hidden Corners of Karla's Cottage"! Like---do you want to know what's REALLY behind that floral screen! It's ok- she knows I love to kid her.
So ....what was in the bag? These really cool old documents- look at the letterhead- you just don't see anything like that today.
And then these great handpainted roses on wallpaper that Karla aged- I love these- can you just imagine all the projects you could do with these? Cards, pictures, boxes- I told her she should put some in her Etsy Shop.
