Welcome everyone to yet 
another round of Thrift Treasures, my weekly round up of the best finds 
in the secondhand shops in my neck of the woods.  This week, I found 
lots of kitschy knick-knacks:

A
 cute cloth cottage that I dug up in the sadly defunct A.C.T.S thrift 
store, a labrynth of awesome stuff and themed rooms that got shut 
down... I think the cottage is a tea cozy, what should I do with it?

Another
 cool item, a German wall hanging recipe that I cut up to make a skirt 
from...it has an adorable folk art pattern of a brother and sister in 
traditional German outfits.  I'm inspired!

Last but not least, I found this miniature cuckoo clock in a box of christmas ornaments for 25 cents at the Corner Store.  It's volkskunst made in Germany, and I love it!  I turned it into a brooch and wear it all the time!
Who knew Lake Elsinore was such a big importer of German goods?  Till next time, folks...
