A Real Hoot

Well, it's a macrame hoot actually. Just a small haul this week at the thrift store. Old View Master reels. Kinda neat. There's still a View Master in my dad's basement if these don't sell.

What collage artist can pass up a French dictionary for 50 cents? And what's one more macrame owl for my collection? This guy was half price-- only 75 cents. I think he'll be happy among his new friends.

Linking to The Thrifty Groove and Thrifty Things Friday with these few ultra thrifty finds.

Enjoy your day!

  1. I like the macramé owl - reminds me of the 70's!

  2. Love all the finds, especially the owl of course :) Those owls were still lingering around when I was a toddler in the late 80s, I recall having an odd fascination with them!

    1. I, obviously, like those owls too. It's amazing how many different styles there were-- and the different cords too.

  3. the view master reels...are those for a view master, the little red one, like the kids used? I think they still make those right?
    These vintage reels are so cool. Even the covers would be neat for some of your collage art.
    I think I have a french text book (it's quite old) and the old is just cool. I love it. I always enjoy seeing things from the past with that vintage-y vibe to them.
    He'd look sweet hanging on my porch. Really.
    have a great week. Pat

  6. Love your finds!! Like the dictionary...will come in handy I bet! Years ago - in the 70's - I macraméd a lot. Gave them as gifts and I am surprised that many people still have them hanging. I really enjoyed it.
