We hit another estate sale this morning. Brrrrr...it was a chilly wait but definitely worth it. Just take a look at today's batch of oldies but goodies: I collect old spectacles/glasses and these are perfect for my collection. I've been looking everywhere for these glass insulators in blue and I finally got them! Four to be exact. I couldn't resist the old books, cow bell and this "No Smoking" sign which is more of a...
The hubby and I hit an estate sale this morning while the boys were in school. Lookie at all of the goodies we snatched up: There is something intriguing to me about the clown with the violin. I don't know if it's a jewelry charm or perhaps more of an ornament. The artist painted the image onto a metal shape - which I know makes it very old. I just can't tell what type of metal it...
I made a few more painted peat pots this week and I think I'm becoming a little obsessed. For this batch, I added some number tags along with the buttons I used on my previous bird one: The first one is filled with rolled vintage sheet music and ones I downloaded from The Graphics Fairy.

Got this idea from a magazine (f course I can't remember which one as I'm typing this!). I just love the look...
In the midst of all of my holiday shopping madness, I sat down over the weekend and made myself a little something for all of $2! Yup, I'm such a big spender - lol: This is a simple Dollar Store prayer candle with a fabulous Keep Calm and Carry On image that I got off of Etsy for...$1 (graphique.etsy.com) that I Mod Podged on. I am keeping to a tight Xmas gift budget this year but...
Although I haven't been ice skating in years and was never quite good at it, I do love the look of them in the wintertime. This is a pair I did a couple of years ago when I first started blogging. I had spied a similar pair in Romantic Homes and did a copycat you might remember from my old blog One Cheap B*tch: Some of the glitter on the blades has started to wear...
