old bottles

I got all of these at the thrift store for 1.50. What a deal. Looks like some more altered bottles in my future.

Flea Market finds

The soap dish is supposed to be vintage but I'm not so sure. The tiny strainers are so cool! Does anyone out there know what they are used for? The stack of white is single ply tissue. So perfect for collage. Not pictured is a great small bug net for my pool. I hate using that giant pole.

Junkin

Buster made me walk yesterday. So glad he got me out of the house. Pleasant Hill garage sale weekend and I had completely forgot.

Check out my goodies from a sale today. The black scarf is a mourning veil! Got a deal on all this stuff. Love the square nails and fish hook. Also got four fruit crates in excellent condition. The pens are dip pens.

Had a good junkin day. Found all the new crystals and cool rubber stamps. Food. Also I'm going to try to carve the corks into stamps.

Birthday Haul!

My sweet husband took me all the way over to my favorite scrapbooking store. On the way we hit a few select estate sales. I got all the wonderful Malaysian greeting cards and Chinese for the low price of five dollars. Such beautiful artwork. Some include the batik fabric they create there. Others are silk. The pot holders and hand marbled silk are another great sample of the wonderful textiles. The Boneka (Indonesian word for doll) is hand carved and painted, his wardrobe is made from royal antique batik sarongs peculiar only to Indonesia. I felt like I stole him for ten dollars. He came with his own box covered in the same fabric. He told me he wanted to come home with me and hang out with the other art dolls.

Was so disappointed at the scrapbook store. They had only two colors left of the color wash dye! That was my main focus for that trip! Well told the lady and she kindly ordered ALL the colors I desired and promised to mail them to me as soon as they arrived! I don't mind waiting for them and will save another trip. Found some great 7 gypsies products while there and a Tattered traveler compass stamp to go with the glimmer screen i bought last time I visited her store. Well off to play....
