Seeing the beauty ~

Gifts for you....

I was so very fortunate to win a little bundle of French treasures
from Marcy of The Brocantess ~
Just the simple beauty of the bundle made me swoon....

Gorgeous treasures, each beautiful all on its own
but together...so wonderful!

Of course you know I had to share the religious card with you ~

Thank you so very much sweet Marcy!!!
The treasures are so beautiful and
very much appreciated ~
hugs and love to you ~

I forgot to show you this one little butter pat I found last Saturday.
Crazed and a bit stained ~ but so beautiful....

Our son Brad works for Kirkland's and they were throwing away a broken angel from Christmas....and look what that sweetie saved for me!!!
Angel wings...a bit worn, a bit tattered but beautiful.

I hit the jackpot at one of the places we stopped Saturday
and I bought all of these galvanized jar lids,
with the porcelain inserts.....
perfect for simple linen pincushions for our space ~
Rusty, rugged and old but just beautiful.

Books that I found simply because I loved their covers.
Old, scuffed and torn ~ but beautiful because of it all....

And this little goodie is not so beautiful
but definitely helps to create beauty!!
I found this at Walmart, it's a Martha punch
that makes photo corners!!!
I'm so loving this thing.....

I hope your week has been going so good....
I've been working on my new tutorial for Artist Class ~

A rainy, junky day!

First, a sweet, chubby bird for you!!!
I found it in a very old book and cleaned it up in Photoshop ~

Well, we've done it again!!!
Not really me, I'm quite innocent (as always :)
but Dennis has rented a small space at an antique mall!!!
We both love Antique Griffin and Phyllis who runs it ~
plus it's just a couple of minutes from where
he works so it will be super convenient!
And of course, I have to get involved because I just love all things old....
so today we headed out in the rainy weather and went junkin' ~

We found some wonderful things and of course,
I found a few goodies for me too.
We were in an antique mall, which wasn't very junky at all,
and we came across these two spaces
that were the the same dealer
and I just had to take some photos for you!!

Click on the photos so you can see more detail ~

Neat, huh? We had the best time ~ even Noah came along and had fun!
So I've been cleaning and removing gummy stuff from things where
the tag doesn't peel off well, getting it ready for the space ~
I'll be sure to take some photos of the goodies we found too!
