Little Bits of Things


I picked up a package of biodegradable peat pots at a yard sale.
 As they sat on the dresser I starting throwing in little bits and bobs
 that I have picked up and acquired while staying here in Florida.
 The old metal 52 stencils were given to me by
 Shelley of Sweet Pea Home.
 Remember the pictures of her home when I visited there?
 It is sooo pretty!

She is set up at Marburger right now...oh I wish I was there!
 Can't wait to see her photos of that spectacular event!


Why do I do this?


That's what Dad and Mr. Flea want to know.







another pair of angel wings...



Tiny tin boxes.
Now, what will I put in them?

The sunshine has disappeared and we are having
 rain storms, wind and even tornado warnings!
Sounds like an inside crafty kind of day.
 The good news is
 that the weekend is supposed to be beautiful again.
Hooray!
 More yard sales and thrifting.


And don't forget about 52 FLEA's

All Around The House



This fall I am sorting through old finds ...from up in the attic...out in the shed...down in the basement...all around the house...



Several years ago, I was surprised to find this wonderful old French hatbox at a house sale up in the Adirondack mountains. It was an unexpected treasure among fishing poles and rustic camp items...



This lovely gray wool short waist jacket has interesting details...I love the ivory trim...and the asymmetrical fabric covered buttons. The front closes with hidden hooks and eyes...

...I wonder who this sweet jacket belonged to....and what sort of person she was...and what she looked like...and if she went to school or married and had children...I wonder if she loved art or music...I wonder what her story was...
I wonder about the stories behind all these old treasures....
Do you?
...OK.... back to work Laura! :)
