Second hand needlepoints, always found for a dollar or two, and always making us ask "why would anyone get rid of this?" From top: the coolest tennis racquet cover ever, from a church sale. Obviously for a plumber, or a tennis pro with a wandering pipe; a nice colorful glasses case; a so sweet gift from a grandmother featuring an 8-bit sized Jack Russell; an old Union Jack pincushion; floating mushrooms; a funny Gucci purse, from an estate sale in Old Orchard Beach; two blue willow pillows; an old Princetonian eyeglasses case; a pink-and-metallic pillow from 1974; and Harry Nilsson's The Point, memorized by John from when he was a kid and now cued up on the toy turntable in our soon-to-arrive son's room (who needs "hickory-dickory-dock" when you have "Me and my Arrow".)

LOVE-what great finds! So fun.
All great points to bring up/out.
I heart Nilsson & The Point (and your blog) great finds!
I love these!
I was on a needlepoint kick for awhile, but when you start looking for them, you find a lot of them (at least that's true here in Maine).
Yes, I too love these overlooked treasures! (....if you'd like to get jealous, check out my blog entry dated Sep 11th 2009)
