Look at all those doilies! Score!
Darling record sleeves...journal covers?
I can't believe you found those bed sheets!
I love chenille!! I have 2 on beds, one white chenille (new) and a vintage one.
You were blessed with the green stamps and old recipe cards! God amazes me how much he knows and cares about our needs.💕
Blessings!

Wow, what a wonderful haul! How blessed are you to find so many of the things you were searching for! I love the recipes! Something about them being hand written and old always gets me. I think the ones where you aren't fond of the hand writing is written with a left hand, maybe. And the cigar box full of goodies, your husband did good! Thanks for sharing! Cindy

I love it all. You do find the best bits and pieces and you scored another lot of patterns. With the patterns you could cut the people out and back them with thinish card for selling. The rough ones could be put into a 'collage' lot. I seriously wish we had estate sales and garage sales here - I would be in my element! I would use the starched doillies to make garlands for hanging up at Christmas on the walls or around the trees - you could always sell them in your Etsy shop. You could also rehang them with thread and sell them in packs too.

The babydoll dress makes me think of red riding hood, maybe on a cover? Wonderful haul, thank you for sharing!

I’m curious if you have found a use for the stiff doilies. I would put them on a page flip out, maybe cutting a circle in the middle of cardstock and suspending the doily in the “window”. I have used small record covers as long as they aren’t thick cardboard by separating the two halves and folding about one inch on one end to sew into a signature. (There is one in my Disney journal flip through video) I’m so excited for all you found and yes, God answers even our junk journaling prayers! I love it!! My hubby loves finding things he knows I’m looking for. Aren’t we blessed!! ❤

What amazing finds! That is the best deal ever on doilies! Would be cute to hang the stiff ones from the ceiling. We do that with paper snowflakes in the winter.

The plastic paisley tote bag looks like what I used as a book bag when I was in elementary school. No backpacks in our day.

I would buy some of those stiff snowflake ornaments.

I'd bet the stiffened snowflakes are soaked in PVA or some other glue, it might not be worth the solvent exposure to get it out! I'd probably scan them if I wanted to have the look of them in a journal.
They'd be lovely as present toppers, and recipients could use them as tree decs after that. It's a hell of a lot of someone's work to get for a dollar!

Nice treasure. you stitch them together for a journal cover? Do they accept and hold color? You should totally post a video whatever you decide. 🥰
