He Can See!


My youngest has wanted glasses for a couple years now. I'm not sure when glasses became cool. I remember when I first got glasses, I was in the 8th grade and I was devastated!

Well, his dreams finally came true. His prescription isn't very strong, but he says they make a difference in the classroom. We went to pick out his frames... I loved this pair. But obviously by the look on his face, he didn't.



This was the pair he fell in love with..



So, this gave me the perfect excuse to make him a cute little case.


I found a great tutorial HERE.

The tutorial called for a magnetic clasp. I didn't have one on hand, so I used a plastic snap instead. It works great!


Also, I had about 45 minutes to burn today and I was right by Goodwill. So I stopped in to see what they had. I found this plaid Full size flat sheet. I plan to use it for the backing on a denim quilt.

I also snatched these 3 vintage (aka used.. old) pillowcases for 99cents each. I think they will make great tote bag linings!


How about you? What kinds of treasures do you find at thrift stores?

    I can remember wanting to wear glasses too, but did I get to??? NO! My brother and sister did and they hated them. He looks really sharp in those and the glass case is darling in that fabric!

    Cool glasses & case! I enjoy looking for glass containers at thrift shops. Don't like to store food in plastic as it can be nasty stuff and you have to eventually throw it away!

    My current 'search item' is clear glass candlesticks. I love putting 20 or so on my mantle and my dining room table for special occasions and the holidays. Set a large mirror under them for even a better effect when the candles are lit.

    I got my first pair of glasses in 5th grade (1965)--"cat eyes"--and it changes my life! Leaves on trees!!!
