This is a cute old teaching clock toy. Front and back.

Thrifted for $2.82

I picked up items at two places: a church sale and a pay-by-the-pound Goodwill. At the church sale, I got a children’s book, Timothy Slept On. It’s exactly what it sounds like; a boy (who likes to sleep in), just doesn’t wake up no matter what the townspeople do to rouse him.

This book is from 1964 and I adore the illustrations. They are awesome. I bought this book for 50 cents.

I also bought this glass jar for $1. I liked the fleur de lis marks on it. It’s simple and cute; I thought I could use it to store food supplies.

At the pay-by the-pound Goodwill I got some unnecessarily items for $1.32. First I got this red Pendleton sweater. [Pause.] Now I’m having second thoughts about it…and I’m thinking it’s going in the donate pile.

I also got a gray and red belt.

And finally I got this Old Navy Love More shirt. I would never wear it in public since I avoid wearing anything that has words with any sort of “message” or logo on it. I only bought it so I could wear it at home.

Two Vintage Children’s Books

I got these two vintage children’s books at an estate sale for 50 cents each. I didn’t need them (and probably shouldn’t have bought them), but they were so cute and cheap.

The first book is Harry the Dirty Dog from 1956. I love the illustrations. The story’s pretty cute as well.

The second book is The Little Mermaid from 1966. I like the color palette and drawing style of the illustrations.
