Score!

I spent the morning at the South Florida Fairgrounds Flea Market/Garage Sale.  When I'm there, I'm like a pig in sh*t! 

Heaven!!  

While I found lots of great stuff, this is my score for the day......vintage Christmas tree light reflectors in different shapes and colors!  Love 'em!  

       I also found these assorted treasures! 

 Stay tuned to see how they'll be incorporated into upcoming art projects!

PS - some were purchased but others were found in the parking lot!

Happy Easter!

A STEP BACK IN TIME

Last month when I was on the Eastern Shore I visited Jaxon's in Parksley Virginia!  Wow - what a place!  It was truly like stepping back in time!  I remember going to this Five and Dime as a child in the 60's and the place has not changed a bit!  Well. okay, maybe a little bit.......they didn't have that pair of patent leather yellow and orange sandals that I once coveted!

Love this hair net display!

     UPDATED VINTAGE TEA TOWELS


While yard sale-ing last fall, I came across some unique retro dish towels that still had some life in them.  I decided to update them so they could continue hanging out in the kitchen as they had for many years.   I got the idea for making these from a similar towel my mom gave me.  She used a new towel and pot holder to make hers but I liked the idea of repurposing old towels because I find the colors and patterns so interesting.

  I did purchase some new potholders, then used vintage buttons and assorted vintage trim to bring them back to life.  I love the fact that they fasten around the bar on the oven door making them accessible without falling on the floor.  I gifted the first few I made - these are my latest.  I'd like to make more since I'll be listing them in my etsy shop, but I'm running out of towels.  Yikes - you know what that means......gotta hit the rummage sales and score some more.
