Findings

I am getting to the supplies part of my studio.

Little piles of things will soon be making their way to my Vintage Marketplace Shop

These little turn of the century window pulls are pretty amazing.

They would make great jewelry pieces.

The tops have little holes from running string thru.
Perfect for the jewelry altered artist.

They are heavy, distressed metal.

Find them as a pair in my shop.

I am also listing more foam letter stamps.  Great for Monogramming on fabrics!!

Soon I will be putting paper ephemera packages together with vintage findings.
And a load of Vintage Celluloid buttons too.

Stay tuned.  If you are an altered artist you won't want to miss it.

Shop Vintage Marketplace to view all or follow me on Twitter @Vintagemarketp or Pinterest Vintage Market to get first dibs :)

A lot going on around here this week.
Spring is in the air and the cleaning continues.

Every afternoon we break for a bike ride and tour the neighborhood.
The weather is insanely beautiful and will be close to 90* by the weekend.
CRAZY!!!  I am not ready for those kinda temps.  If we could keep it at 72* that would be fine by me.

Farmhouse Morning

Found these great wire baskets in my closet and thought it was time to pass them on to someone who might really use them and appreciate their rad style.

I have 2 available.

They are vintage metal wire baskets from a grocery store.  They have the original clip hang tags for the prices.  I have put vintage words on them.

Just adorable for kitchen decor to hold your fruits and veggies in.

But so many other uses for around the house, towel holder for the bath, organizing craft supplies and material just so many ideas.

These are available in my Vintage Marketplace Shop.  Click on my shop for more details.

Come check out all the other goodness in the shop.  Lots of supplies for the altered artist coming each day.

Our rain is gone and the sun is back.  I must get to the studio today and get to work.  Have a lovely weekend.

Story of my Week

Paper

  It always comes back to where I started...my paper garlands.  Remember my first Gallery Showing?

It is Spring and Spring means Brides and Brides mean weddings and weddings need to be dressed.
So here I am making Paper Garlands for Decor.
It keeps me busy and it always makes me happy that a Bride wants my garlands for her special day.

The rain is coming down today.
It is cold and gray and I LOVE it.
As the clouds rolled in last night, I sat in my studio with lights aglow and candles flickering and Weezie by my side crown and all...

Such a lovely setting to sit and work to.

Today I will be listing more things at Vintage Marketplace my Shop

 More coin purses and DOLLS coming soon.

Last of the 30's

 It is a milestone.
A time for celebration
A last birthday....a last birthday in my 30's

With a blink of an eye my 30's are at the end.
Time to grow up....right?
Or do I take a page from my son's favorite Peter Pan?

I think the latter!!

We have celebrated and I continue today.
A trip to the park is called for, to blow bubbles and run around without a care in the world.
No I won't be the old lady in park by herself, I will take my boy and we will run together.
Leaving school and work behind to be a kid all day!

 My hubby, being the best one in the world but has to work today.
Set up my celebration yesterday and after a wonderful breakfast in bed to start the day we headed to

the Strip to shop
and then this is what I came home to....

The most wonderful, delightful party setting filled with prizes and candy galore.

It was and is the best ever.

I am leaving it up all week as to seem like a crazy party has taken place.

It was a full weekend of dancing, laughing,and EATING.  Boy oh boy did I eat.

Life is good.
Thanks to all my friends and family who shared in my day.

Wish you all were here.

Shots of a Fresh Studio

Just a peek at things going on in my studio.

A few more things need to be rearranged and attended to but this is what has changed.

See previous look on my Where I Create Sidebar Button.

Have a Happy Weekend Everyone. I know I will, its my B-day weekend so off to celebrate :)

 This is a pen and ink now hangs in my studio. It is of me.   My hubby did this 12 years ago.  It is 1 a series he did from old photo booth photo strips.
 I love having it displayed in my studio now.  It fits so perfectly with the new decor.
