I can never resist it seems. :)<br />@ringmaster: I was making the coins on the fly- meaning he needed them right away. I used what I had & what I came up with quickly. I clued really nice, heavy weight cardstock on either side of really thick wool felt. Then I free-motion stitched the number on the front. It works ok, but needs a bit more weight to it. Plus, he wants it to be shiny. I'll have to use tin foil on something I guess. <br />@Daria & Chantale- I really wanted to get him that abacus so he could learn math on it. I remember enjoying using one as a kid. He seems to get a kick out of it too. <br />@Carmel- Yeah, I scored! I "break down" in vintage shops all of the time. It's sort of a rush. :) Why yes he did get a haircut. The crazy nest of hair on the back of his head is wheat it looks like when he wakes up. :)KLThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706649304790944535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640827290596892418.post-10617161328703868862011-04-18T02:29:26.350-07:002011-04-18T02:29:26.350-07:00Oh, my! - what terrific finds Kristin!

I'm especially in love with the abacus (mine was with rectangular sides) - did you know it's supposed to be the best way to learn math the right way?<br />The phone is fantastic too!

We used to learn counting with those plastic square sticks in school that came in it's own plastic rectangular box. These are such terrific finds, you should open up your own vintage shop!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677699062971183323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640827290596892418.post-87510518245638258032011-04-17T13:30:04.628-07:002011-04-17T13:30:04.628-07:00great finds! love that phone!great finds! love that phone!Sandi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808119407875778790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7640827290596892418.post-71990840095731569422011-04-17T13:10:24.850-07:002011-04-17T13:10:24.850-07:00Love that phone!
