Dad's Finds

I have an awesome Dad.  Not only is he the kindest, thoughtful and most loving person I have ever known, but he has always been supportive of my passions for art and artistic expression.  He is in his 80's now, but still frequents flea markets, garage sales, and auctions every week.  More often than not, he picks up vintage yarn, hooks, knitting needles and books at crazy low prices (and sometimes free) for me!  I wanted to give him a separate page dedicated to his awesome gifts!  My dad is an awesome dad!

Above is some discontinued specialty yarn.

And here's some vintage rug yarn, thread and a tatting shuttle!  (I need to learn that!)

Circa 60-70's yarn and afghan hook!

J & P Coats "Boilfast" thread  (still looks new)

And of course, my coffee pot which I still use on a daily basis.  It has outlasted at least 4 other "drip" coffee makers.

Go Forth and Be Hippy!
