HÄ(?)KELN VINTAGE

The good thing about living here in the country are the great thrift stores. You never know what to expect when coming across one and it's exciting to dig through the huge piles of stuff.
Jen took me last week to a great thrift store in ............. (I forgot the name of the town, but it's close to Neustadt a. d. Aisch). When driving through the little town you all of a sudden see an old car door leaning against a fence with "open" spray painted on it. After Jen squeezed the car through a minuscule opening to a courtyard we parked in front of an old barn. The place was filled with stuff from floor to ceiling (literally), including the attic.



I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for, but when I saw this leaning in the corner my heart jumped because of excitement:



This poster (front and back) was used in a German school for crocheting instruction. Just last week I decided to learn how to crochet since I saw Moonstitches rhubarb scarf on her blog. At least this poster will teach me the basic crocheting stitches and that in large scale. I can sit back on my couch and look from afar.
