Speaking of embroidery love, first I need to talk about how bad I want this alphabet ! I love wood, I love the alphabet, I love embroidery and I love what I could do with these!
Okay, need to fan myself a bit and get back to books. Vintage Ondori books to be precise.

I bought both these books on eBay because sometimes, no matter how much the thrift goddess loves you, she will keep certain things from you. When it comes to me she keeps Vintage Ondori books far away on eBay and never at the thrift store for $1.50. But that’s okay because there’s eBay and sometimes I get lucky and actually win something instead of lose it to that evil program that lets people outbid you with 4 seconds to go! Again, I’m getting a little overexcited – sorry.
Tomorrow is more embroidery so please come back and maybe you’ll get excited about the vogart pattern I’ve got for you!
Oh, and one more thing…here’s a picture of the girl cat sleeping in the sun for those of use who had dreary days that were all overcast, cold and wet.

Thanks for introducing me to now one more thing I need to search eBay for! *smile* oh and wanted to say hi I just came across your blog!
I love the Ondori patterns. I've never heard of them! They look just like the kind of embroidery I like. I recently scored some cool children's books at a rummage. I will try to scan those in this weekend too.
Don't you just hate ebay snipers! Drives me nuts.. I get so excited thinking im gonna win and then 3 seconds (and not enough time for me to refresh) im outbid :(
The beautiful approach of embroidery for children.
