More On "The Nomadic Trading Company" Of Punxsutawney, PA

A couple of weeks ago I told you about the cool place to be on Friday evenings here in Punxsy.

www.nomadictradingcompany.net

 "The Nomadic Trading Company"

I wanted to share some photos of our first purchase made there.

 The huge cabinet with all the awesome drawers.

 This storage unit holds tons of stuff and is my favorite piece of furniture.

 It's the focal point of my living room.  Did I mention that I love these drawers?

 Above the storage unit hangs an old window where I have displayed  large chandelier crystals.

Also  purchased from "Nomads"

 This solar spinner which is on top of the unit, came from "Nomads" as well.

If you haven't been there yet, you should.

There really is something there for everyone.

Frilly Friday

Todays frilly finds are wedding related. This is a 1950's wedding gown.

Lace on the gown's bodice and sleeves.

Headpiece with veil.

Gloves with rhinestones.

Shoe embellishment.

Don't you just love all the heavenly lace and embellishments?  Some day I will cut these all apart and make something with all the parts and pieces, but for now they just look pretty, hanging in my studio.
