Fabric Found?

I think I may have finally found the fabric I want to use for my kitchen curtains! I'd prefer if this fabric had a white background with a black pattern, but after MUCH searching, at least I've found the sputnik-ish pattern. Now I'm thinking I should get a clock to match, too:

Business Card Holder

I bought a business card holder at a garage sale last week. It was nothing special when I got it-- had a black faux crocodile skin covering it that didn't really appeal to my sense of aesthetics. But a little fabric from my vintage fabric mother lode , some glue and some plastic covering made this into a holder worthy of my Craft Buff business cards. (Lest you worry about my sanity-- given that I do not craft for a living-- let me clarify that I got them free of charge and I mostly use them when I'm giving a handcrafted item to a friend or family member!)

Hitting the Crafting Mother Lode

This morning I stopped by an estate sale. As I've written elsewhere, garage and estate sale shopping is something I enjoy for reasons both personal and political. This morning there was a fabric extravaganza at the sale I went to! Check out the awesome vintage fabrics I picked up. Not only did I get a great deal on this fabric ($2 a cut), I also got a LOT of it. Each piece is between 1 and 4 yards... all for $20. I foresee a lot of retro fabric knitting cases in my future...
