One of our favorite things to do is visit the Good Will store, especially when we have a 40% of coupon like we did over the weekend. My daughter finds the cutest sweaters. But I am drawn to the junk.
I found this green plastic caddy that matches two other caddies I had. The pink one belonged to my mother. I believe she kept her sponge hair rollers in it. The yellow one is for thread. I found it at a Mennonite thrift shop last summer. I had no idea there were so many colors of this plastic box. Now I will need to keep my eye open for more!
Saturday was spent organizing some of my vintage trims. It was fun rediscovering some things I had forgotten I had.
And here finally are some other junky treasures. When I picked up the little dress I had planned on using it for doll clothes, but it is so cute I don't think I can bear to cut it up. For some reason this color scheme is becoming one of my favorites. I might need to make a quilt with these colors soon.

Hey I got one of the sewing boxes for christmas, too. And it is recycled!
You have the sweetest treasures! I think the big thing with plastic was that it could be easily made in any number of colours. We had plastic mugs in six colours, for each kid, so that we would use the same mug for drinking water or juice all day long instead of filling the kitchen sink with glasses.
