Terrific Tiara!!

Morning everyone.

On Monday I received the sweetest Tiara from my tiara swap partner, Mica over at Garb-oodles Soup Thank you Mica!! I love my tiara. The grand daughters have been fighting over who gets to wear it with 2 yr old tovi joi saying 'mine mine mine!" Of course that is what I am also saying to myself!!! ";

Thank you for all the extra goodies as well. If you haven't checked out this site run!! Mica has incredible "garboodle dollies" she makes.

THRIFT STORE WONDERS

I had a great time thrift store jumping this past week with friends. I was so delighted to find this amazing mannequin head!!!! She is beautiful.
Her name is Lizzie!!!!! She seemed to call my name and said she needed a nice fun home to go to. All I had to do was look at her to know her name. I splurged on her----she was $29.00 but I made up for it on the other two items.

She is now at home in my studio and is just waiting for her 'tiara' from my swap partner. Isn't she just tooo cool?

I found these vintage halloween crepe paper rolls for 25cents each!!! I had one more but sent it to a special new friend. I can't wait to make some one of a kind halloween 'kids' to wear these.

This was another wonderful find----a purple feather tree with yellow tips for 59 cents!!!! I love victorian christmas decorations and have my own feather trees in all sizes all over the house at Christmas. This one is in my studio but will probably move to our lavendar bedroom during the christmas season.

There is a new swap meet/farmer's market/craft sale/antiques etc here with over 150 stalls. I haven't been able to go yet but as soon as i get off these crutches and back on my cane I plan on going and spending all the time I want wandering around. It is held every weekend.

Happy treasure hunting to all of you thrifters out there.

SWAP GOODIES!!!

Hi everyone!!!

I have been missing in action lately. Have been so busy with out of town guests, and some medical issues but am on the mend once again. I have had two falls in the last week---ugh. I am using crutches and my grand daughters are kissing my 'boo boo's'. how sweet is that?


My first swap surprise comes from sweet Sonia over at ccraftscollectibles. It is our match box swap hosted by my next swap partner, Natasha Burns. Sonia sent wonderful little goodies for me. I have had such a nice time getting to know you!!
Hope your family vacation in Malta is absolutely wonderful!!

My second swap was with the fantabulous Natasha @ artistic creations by natasha burns. This was the Bits and Pieces swap hosted by Jenny at
every day is a holiday!

I already have it hanging in a place of honor on my studio wall. Whenever I am in my studio I can see it while I am working away.

Please visit both these wonderful creative blogs for more inspiration.

Thank you Natasha. Thank you Sonia.
