I collect this stuff too! In fact, I was just getting ready to post some on my blog! What a coincidence! I found a favorite church sponsored thrift store that seems to get tons of this stuff!
ReplyDeletei always feel so happy when I come here! thanks so much for posting these pics!
ReplyDeleteYes, thank goodness for the ladies who saved stuff from yesterday! One of the wonderful things about this hobby is the memories it brings! I only own one unopened dime store pagage. I can't believe I'm drawing a blank on what they are called but it's string and pegs for hanging up Christmas cards.
