Fonda's Fabulous Funday Finds #3

The first two items were purchased at the ReStore in Ocean Isle Beach.

There are always plenty of picture frames to be found, but I don't usually see a round one, so I put it in my cart.

I don't plan to use this particular picture, so I'll find something suitable to fit my décor.

I don't know why, but I'm drawn to office supplies. 

Pre-sharpened compass leads

I got them for a bargain, too, considering the price stickers! I have plenty of compasses (compai ?) to use these leads with. Now, if I can just find a need to actually use said compasses.

The rest of the items were purchased at the CIS thrift store in Southport.

Speaking of office supplies... plus more

The typing paper is to provide a white background inside a dark card that we would make. Behind that is a holder for papers or books for use in typing. And, in front is a Rolodex with plenty of cards and indices.

I gave this to Katie to use for her earrings. For each semester at school, she doesn't like to wear the same earrings twice. When she's done with one pair, she puts them on the back, and after the semester is over, she turns it around. The little mesh holes are just big enough to hold her dangling earrings. We had been trying to figure out a plan for her earrings for awhile. Now she has something that works.

The colorful box is for gloves. Up until I had seen this one, I had only seen pink and pastel dainty-colored, satiny boxes. This one couldn't possibly be for gloves, I thought.

There's the proof. The sticker says "Kidd Gloves, sz 6 1/2, $6 per pair". Of course, "kid" is misspelled. It is not made with a satiny fabric.

I believe I remember my mother wearing gloves as late as the early 60s when she went outside the house to a social engagement. It's what was done back then.

Behind that is a gold metal tissue box. I'm going to use it around this house somewhere!

Then there's a make-your-zipper-as-long-as-you-want kit. There are yards and yards of the sipper teeth plus quite a few zipper pulls. I sew, so they might come in handy.

The world atlas is nice and thick.

1966 Goode's World Atlas — A Rand McNally Company

It's in great shape, and the illustrations are very nice. 

The pronouncing index

I'll have to consult the Pronouncing Index to see if they know that it's Beaufort, pronounced BO-fort in North Carolina, and Beaufort, pronounced Byoo-fort in South Carolina. Ahhh...I think they only worry about "foreign" lands, and we North Carolinians know how to pronounce Beaufort correctly!

The last item is called a Stamp Buddy. I've misplaced it, and I'm not sure what it does! It's in the heap somewhere. That room must be organized soon!

That's it for today's sharing of the hoard.
