Here are a few more treasures
that we discovered this past weekend ~
Why am I drawn to these photos of strangers?
Their faces...the beautiful shades of sepia ~
I love tiny leather pouches and
have used them in my artwork before.
And of course, you know one can NEVER have enough buttons....

Raggedy old books...

And I discovered that I'm in love with Ace Hardware.
I found this wonderful wire that I'm going to use to make hangers
for these cool glass containers.

This one even had a little rust!!!
I've been working on another load to take to the antique space Friday.
We're slowly getting things together and
we don't actually pay rent until March 1st ~
and we've already almost sold enough to pay it!!

I love the old photos and I chuckled when you called them "strangers". In our home, I call them "instant relatives". If I like the photo, I put it in a frame and mix it with my Real relatives!!LOL!!

I love the books and buttons...and all the old stuff! The little fairy is precious! What a wonderful way to display this beautiful photo!
Dawn, thanks for stopping by my blog to see my fairy in my jar. I was
going to email you today to let you know I posted about your wonderful
blog and tutorial, but someone else let you know.
Have a Great Day!

Coucou Ma Belle,
Hope you are having a good day despite the cold. I love the photos you have shared with us and the precious photos. Especially the adorable baby who's sticking up hair as well as the surprised look too !!! What wonderful goodies that you have found. We certainy love the same things - books, buttons and bits 'n bobs. I'm so pleased that things are selling so well. I soooo wish could pop over and from here to see it in person.
Warmest best wishes,
Suey

Dawn, a friend of mine is a geneologist (sorry if I spelled it wrong) anyway when she goes antiqueing she collects old pictures and she calls them "orphan babies" and she gives them a home at last unless she finds their families. I always thought that was a sweet name. She puts them on her site and trys to find their families then sends them to the correct family so they can be reunited. Just thought I would pass that on.
Thank you for the sweet pictures. They are always appreciated,
Sharon
