Seriously, what could a woman want more than a gold card? And a BFF (Blogging Friends Forever) gold card at that? Laura at Catholic Teacher Musings passed this along to me. I feel like I should make her a friendship bracelet or something. Maybe share gum.

The cool thing is, while I get to max out my virtual account with her, I also get to give away 5 more. That gives me a total of 6 BFFs! Woo-Hoo! Enough for a really rockin slumber party!

The rules:

Rules: You may choose 5 awardees

Choose 4 faithful readers of your blog.

I have some great faithful readers, and I want you to go visit them right now. Please step up to the podium

Widney Woman

Angie from Seven Clown Circus

Beth, from Beth Loves Ice Cream

Eileen from Eileen's Attic

Jocasta at The Princess and the Peas is in New Zealand. She's my far-away BFF.

But wait! There's more!

Look at this psychedilic fabulous award! The SuperCommenter Award! I want to give this to all my commenters, but I'm going to hold it to one. You know who you are. My number one stalker extraordinaire. My personal wine advisor. My cooking teacher who always makes me drool with her pictures. The woman who is embarking on a new life many only dream about. And yet for some reason she still finds time to stop by my blog. Come and get your super comment frog noble pig!

Responses to comments from yesterday's post: Vintage Thingies Thursday; Workbasket Magazines.

Amy, there are lots of thrifty patterns, like making aprons from dish towels. Makes me realize how much we take things for granted these days. Coloradolady, I think the apron was for a hostess to put on for show, not wipe her hands on like I do. Eileen, yes I do collect them. I usually look for them on eBay, where there are lots of oldies listed. What A Card, I'm testing out this comment response section. Hopefully people will come back the next day to see what I say? At least it's a place to answer questions. Monkey Memories, I'll teach you how to make them! Little slippers for kids aren't hard to make. lidian, thanks for the compliment! What I conveniently failed to show in the picture are all the other coasters -- they all have coffee stains on them. Yet another thing to wash around here. magda, that's so interesting to hear about how the soldiers really did appreciate the handmade things. Angie, great minds think alike! noble pig, I'm so glad you like my little show-and-tell. I hope you get around to visiting the other sites on the tour. Tons of great vintage stuff out there. ellen b. Thank you! Carrie, June 1962 was a very good month. That's when I was born! It is fun to see how the crafts reflect the times. Good N Crazy so glad you're back! I went without my computer for a day and nearly went out of my skin. Vintage Mommy, four under three beats my three under two! Hope you do come back to visit! Stephanie and Patty, Thank you! Jane, I enjoyed visiting your blog! bejewell - sheesh, no you don't. Des, I don't know what's funnier; the whining/crying, or the posting a comment on the wrong post. Love ya.
