Thrift Store finds

These old checks are super!!! Love the age of them and look at that date! 1896!!

I had picked out 4 of them..he wanted 50cents each..but ended up getting them for free..he forgot to ring them up and said oh heck, you can have them...he had a huge stack of them..that's what I really wanted..but not at 50c each...(these were at a local antique mall)

Gooodwill was brimming with finds for me today!

Found some old books:

The copyright was '46 inside that Emily Post book..

This one was Home Bible studies..had to have it:

You don't see the ends marbled too often..plus there were great illustrations inside too..

I was on the hunt for an old bingo game, but found this instead:

When I saw the cover, I knew this would feed my letter addiction...

Lo and behold..they are super fat and cute and a whole little box full of them!

It looked to be 60's or 70's and must have been in the closet for along time..it was all there..looking as good as new, except the box was a bit worn..but I don't want the box anyway..

This box, I had to get for the insides..but the box is cool too with the metal re-enforcements on the corners and the graphics were a plus too.

These old bobbers will be of some good use in a mixed media piece I'm sure..

HOpe your Labor Day weekend has been a good one!!

later gator~

Sneaky Peek

This has been in my head for awhile..I'm glad to get it out..makes room for other ideas..

These fairies still need to have tags/banners added to them to identify them..I'm still debating on that...

Another is in the works, if I have time, I'll do more..but with the "helper" I sometimes don't have the same time as when I'm home alone..

Rest assured, they will be for sale at my vendor table in 2 (TWO) weeks!! There maybe even a few bags of the wooden game pieces, so you can make your own..

Busy week this week..HOpe yours is a good one!!

Paper Cowgirly stuff

Here is my class project for the Paper Cowgirl Altered Art Retreat in June:

They are on the larger end of things, about 5 inches to the tip of the roof..would be a CHUNKY necklace or a great Ornament.. I will provide all the stuff but the rub ons in the class kits..
And if you wanted, you could even bring a wallet sized photo of someone you love to make it personalize on the back side..

I'll have the goodies but the rub-on for this side too.. Won't this be fun?? I've had alot of fun putting it together for class..and the kits, well, I set the bar high last year. If you didn't make it, the kits were in to-go coffee cups with a cute Cowgirl image on it all with brown papers and such..my thinking cap is on, to make this one as fun~

I hope your checking the Paper Cowgirl blog..for I'm posting things to entice you at odd times everyday this week!! Sign ups begin at midnight on the 1st....Class sizes are limited..

***Next Saturday the 7th is my soldering class at the Crafty Scrapper in Waxahachie, TX...if you get a chance, come by and see us! We are going to have a good time! Thanks again to Sherri for scheduling me!! ***

off to do more PC goodness!
