Dust and Stuff

Last week I purchased a new phone.

I'd read that the Samsung Galaxy S7 had the best camera, so that's what I chose.

It does take fabulous photos and I'm happy with it except for the frustration of transferring those photos to my Mac. Anyway, here goes………

Somehow, I got it to work and I was so excited that I posted these without editing them.

These were taken yesterday near Grove City, PA.

My husband and I were visiting some antique shops, which is something we rarely do these days.

We don't have space for more junk, so a few pics will do.

It was fun just to look and spend the afternoon together.

It's funny to me how some of the shops look as if nothing has changed from one year to the next.

Even the dust stays the same.

I plan to be back here more often in the future.

Hope you'll join me!

Thrifted Easter Finds

Hi all!

If you've been following my blog, you already know that I rarely make it through a week without visiting a thrift store or two. I have quite a nice collection of stuff to use as crafting supplies and another to use as decor. Today I would like to share a couple of photos of thrifted Easter decor items.

This is Betsy Bunny.

She's a pretty ceramic hanger upper that I found in the local junk shop.

I'm loving everything pastel these days.

I found two of these vintage juice glasses and decided that they make lovely little candle holders.

The glass object in the background is an old water container that I purchased at a flea market last summer.

Have you rescued anything lately?

Art Junk

 For some reason I find myself being addicted to junk lately. Instead of my usual trips to the craft store for supplies, I've been gathering junk to use in my art projects and to decorate my home. When I found these old wire shoes, they were filled with dusty dirty silk flowers. My daughter said she wouldn't have seen the potetial in these when I bought them. I'm thinking of doing something with moss and antique lace. It's funny how somebody's dirty, old junk makes me happy.

 I love this primitive old drawer too. I'm thinking it would make a good shadowbox.

I took down several paintings and hung these old printers drawers in their place. I'm pretty sure my husband thinks I'm losing my mind. All I know is, I'm having fun collecting junk and thinking of ways to use them as art.
