By Sara In AZ A few weeks ago Mike and I were scrounging around a local antique/flea market-y type store. This place is a whole mish-mash of stuff, so you REALLY need to dig otherwise you could miss something good! There was a side room loaded with stuff they called…
by Andrea I’m back! Did y’all miss me? I’ve got some pics of the more mid-century highlights from my road trip to share with you today. On Sara in Az’s recommendation, we went to XXX Root Beer in Issaquah. It’s a little out of the way, but definitely well worth…
Oh vintage crafts, how I love you. I love how you have the unique ability to be terrifying and adorable at the same time. Seriously, that is hard to do! And Money Makers, Projects for All Seasons, is a great example of that. For example, how about Gigi the German…
By Betty Crafter We’re cleaning out the garage here at Casa Crafter and that means getting sidetracked by the GOBS of vintage craft magazines I have stashed away. Most recently I started flipping through Women’s Day Knit and Stitch magazine and actually found several things that are right up my…

By Andrea It’s finally Friday, and I’ve got some fantastic Etsy finds for you this week! Kitchenware has got to be one of my more favourite vintage things to collect – here’s some great kitchen items I came across. First off, from seller handz I am absolutely loving these Scandinavian…
by Betty Crafter I decided it’s high time for another “Craft Along with Betty” segment! This time I’m making something out of 1972′s Better Homes and Gardens Gifts To Make Yourself. I’m itching to make one of these felt beanbag animals. I had a hard time deciding between the purple…
By Andrea The first of the spring antique shows was on here this past weekend, and I thought I would show you what I found! I cannot pass up vintage barkcloth, especially when it’s reasonably priced. These pieces were only $5 each, and they are fairly decent sizes. This one…
