Project Time

Hello friends. I have so much going on I cannot even believe it. But I wanted to share with you some of my fabulous finds the last couple of days and my plans for them. Yesterday we ventured out to a couple of garage sales and I found this frame.

I know - it is kind of a gaudy gold - and it is broken. But to me it has so much promise!  I plan to use it to display my hair clippies when I have open houses or finally start selling at craft fairs. Here is a close up of it -

And this is the piece that is broken off of it. At first I was thinking it would be making its way straight to the garbage BUT then I thought with a nice coat of cream spray paint - it might make a very cool architectural accent.  


I also scored this little goodie box of old sewing supplies - for $1! 

I was drawn to all the wooden spools of thread. I'm not sure I'll use them (I am just learning to sew and have no idea if this is the kind of thread I could use or not) but the colors are all so lovely and I just love the wooden spools. I even found wooden bobbins with the loveliest vintage Italian silk thread. Among the delicious colors I was surprised to also find a gorgeous rhinestone button, 2 mother of pearl belt buckles and some dark grey lace seam binding. Oh all the goodness!
 But I needed to find a way to display on the pretty wooden spools. 

This is what I came up with...for now. I say for now because this is what my craft table looks like right now. It is due for a major overhaul.

Tomorrow Macy, my Mom and I are heading to the Elkhorn to the Antiques flea market. I am so excited to see what kind of treasures await us - I think I feel butterflies! XoXo
