I had to take some stuff to the thrift store this morning. Of course, I can't leave without taking something else home. My bad. But, this tutorial has been on my mind, so I came out with a leather belt.
Now I have s
ome vintage buttons to cover, rick rack for rings and white crochet thread to make some baker's twine from this tutorial.
I also couldn't pass up these wax seals. I have a thing for initials and cool brass stuff like this. I can use them to make stamped jewelry.
But, the big find for me of the day? A first edition of Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. Ever since I saw the movie Julie & Julia, I was determined to find a copy at a thrift store. It's been on my thrift list and if I hadn't glanced over at the cookbook section while I was waiting at the register, I would have left it there and how very sad it would have been for me to do that.
Okay. I'm signing off to finish my belt!
So jealous of your cookbook find!!!
