Isn't it interesting the things that some people save for years, only to be unearthed at a flea market years later? I guess it's just as interesting that someone actually buys these things that people have stowed away!
This little Easter egg die kit caught my eye first off by the name in the upper right hand corner {mine}.
After that, I was tickled by the price. The egg dye kits I've been seeing on the store shelves are at least $1 these days.
I love the illustrations on the back cover; the little round heads of the characters were too cute.
Inside, there was another surprise. Mr. Jack Rabbit and Mrs. Happy Duckling are even cuter! I actually didn't know this was even inside until I went to scan the cover images. I always love a little surprise!
What's been up with you this week? Link up the best of your blog below and show us what you've got at the Share the Love Wednesday Blog party!
My favorite linky last week were these repurposed vintage silver lids from Lynda at Something Created Every Day.
Such a neat idea and most definitely the most elegant picture holders I've seen lately! The St. Patrick's Day Rosettes are pretty cute, too! Lynda has a great tutorial on the rosettes and has made a banner out of them as well. Hope you'll visit her for all the details--but before you go... Link up below!

ReplyDeleteHi Mary-
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder to link up to your party. I love seeing all the vintage cards and graphics on your site. You named your blog perfectly - it is very merry. Seeing the cute graphics makes me smile.

Some of the things I like best about old things - like that dye kit - are the graphics. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to the party.

Love the vintage egg dye kit! Great find. Thanks for linking to JFF!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that's so cool that it has your name on it! were you lucky enough to find it at this time of year or had you stored it away until easter?
ReplyDeleteI found it over the summer in Antigo, Wisconsin. There's a flea market there and we were vacationing nearby. When I saw my name on it I knew I wanted it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome find! I love vintage holiday boxes--especially when the are still holding the items!
ReplyDeleteBrings back many memories!~Ames

Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteIf my friend Jennifer saw that dye kit she'd flip! I love to find those old dye kits at flea markets. The art work is just precious. One wonders if the tablets are still good but I suppose they still would let out color once immersed in water...lol!
Happy PS
Deanna :D
