Estate Sale Finds: Darn-it Box

I thought this "darn-it" box was a cute idea. I'm always mending holes and buttons and such while watching TV, and having a handy little box of portable essentials to aid the process is clever.

Estate Sale Finds: Fad of the Month Club

I was digging around the garage of an estate sale, and stumbled upon an entire box full of mailers from a club I think I would have liked to be a part of - the Fad of the Month Club, published by the National Handcraft Society. Members of the Club received a new DIY craft every month, delivered straight to their door. It looks like the stylish wrapping and cute labels on the package were in better taste than the slightly tacky crafts inside (like the weird styrofoam lamb?) but I can totally get behind the idea of a new crafty project surprise being mailed to you monhtly:

Sadly, this member of the Fad of the Month Club seemed to be a little more excited about the idea of doing crafts than actually making them - most of her kits seemed barely touched.
