I Made it Monday...

Last year I found a big bag of 

vintage alphabet blocks

at an antique store.

I loved them.

I really wasn't sure what I would do with them,

but the idea of littles from yesteryear 

playing and building with them...

Why it was simply 

 too much for me 

to resist.

After the blocks sat in a jar for far too long,

I finally made this little concoction of 

Alphabet Blocks

Toy Animals

Bingo Markers

and

other small letter blocks

...with the idea that 

I would put something 

on each block 

that began with the letter 

on each block.

E is for Elephant

and 

I is for Indian

 I made about 15 for a show I was in

Bijou Market

and they sold.

I made about 15 more for the next show I was in

The Beehive Bazaar

and they sold.

So I made a few more today

and again I am hooked.

But with pretty much X's and Y's left in the jar.

(any thoughts on toppin them apples?)

not much progress can occur.

So...

 the hunt has now commenced 

for more vintage alphabet blocks.

As the new ones just won't due.

too shiny  too clean  too perfect...
