New Finds...

Yesterday was a beautiful day at the flea market. The sun was shining, there was a comfortable breeze, and there were so many wonderful vintage things to look at.




I think these beautiful old hangers will be perfect to display Christmas ornaments or gift tags on at art shows.

For awhile I have been wanting to create some jewelry featuring prints of my art. I want to use vintage beads to create the necklaces. I found some pretty vintage necklaces at the flea market yesterday.

If you look at my art you probably know I love birds especially owls. Yesterday I found some adorable owl pieces.

This beautiful cast iron owl was only a $1.00.

These fun owls are a little warn and have been glued more than once but I think they are too cute. They were also only $1.00!

This unique owl vase was also a $1.00!

I saw this and pictured a colorful owl painted on it. I think it will make a wonderful canvas for my art.

Adorable Vintage Vases …

I adore little vintage vases. They are one of my favorite vintage items that I collect. I love filling them with the colorful flowers from my gardens. I paid a measly dollar seventy-five for these three beautiful vases.

I am participating in Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays over at Coastal Charm .

Saturday Fun ...

The weather was amazing yesterday. It felt like a warm summer’s day instead of the first day of May. The warmth seems to pushing everything open earlier this year. I love walking outside early in the morning, the air smells so sweet and everything is buzzing with life. My first two peonies opened yesterday.

We started our day with a trip to our favorite antique and farmers market. There were a lot of vendors with amazing vintage finds. The first booth we past I spotted this adorable baby cradle. The pictures on the cradle are so cute and it plays music, it was only five dollars and a perfect fit for Abbey’s babies.

Last night Noah had his first baseball game; it was under the lights and so much fun. He got a hit and scored, his team played great and they won. Unfortunately all of the pictures I took came out blurry. Next week is a day game hopefully I can get some better shots. While we sat watching the game you could hear some crickets chirping. It was a beautiful night for a baseball.

It was a great Saturday spent with the people I love.

Pretty Little Vase …

A month ago we had a little flood in our basement. It was nothing major but it was enough to turn the laundry room and my little art studio into disaster areas. Things were thrown, shoved, and scattered it looked like a tornado went through. I dreaded walking down the stairs to do the laundry. I just wanted to lock the door and I kept hoping the basement fairy would pay me a visit.

Unfortunately she did not arrive and I got stuck cleaning. I can’t remember the last time I gave the basement the white glove treatment. While I was on my mission I found a lot goodies that I have not seen in a while. Some of them were flea market finds others were treasures passed down to me over the years. I organized all of my art and craft supplies and gave my art room a new look. It’s nice to have my spot back and I love how everything has its place.

I recycled this little glass jar and turned into a pretty vase for my studio. Everything I used to create this masterpiece I found while I was organizing.
