Tolentreasures

And they are rare happenings because JWS generally manages to find clowns.  I "won"  this cute little card table. And this crock, that I quit bidding on and  JWS picked up where I left off.  I have a yellow one like it,  have never seen this color.  I loved this fabric,  however it resembled swiss cheese when I removed it from the  washer. The risk you take. I bought a box,  for the planter below and there was this retro looking ash tray in it.  Ash trays just aren't needed like they used to be!  I have been looking for a set of these salt and pepper shakers  for my camper.  Anyone remember these!  A stand  and a ladder to chalk paint.  And my sister found some treasures also.  The cornucopia? I think she is going to paint it white.  

Finally, yesterday after snow and ice and family commitments, I took the day off work and   went to set up my booth!   The people at Diamond Antiques and Gifts   http://www.diamondantiquesandgifts.com/   https://www.facebook.com/DiamondAntiques     could not have been nicer!   So helpful and welcoming!   It's going to be a fun journey!   Now off to find more stuff!   

As some of you know that have been following along... I have a new project. A 1967 camper trailer that I am "fixing up" You can follow along here I have been painting and cleaning and scrubbing and digging through my stuff for retro stuff. I found these afghans and washed them up this morning. Finished this rug for the camper. Finished the blue rug underneath and started the one on top for the "living room" of the camper. Here is the kitchen area, had to set it up for this photo.

Perusing Pinterest can suck up a lot of time. Anyone who has taken the plunge and joined can attest to that. However, that being said, it is a great place for inspiration. Had something like this in my mind, for all those sample books of fabric that my Mom's friend sends to me. So, above was the prototype and... of course, I had to get a little carried away. My girls would say, "Another manic moment, Mom?" I call it Stash Busting. And, these were from last week. Turning some samples, ideas, and plain,  just stuff laying around, into barrettes. That's it, folks. I am still recovering from the weekend of little boys. I think that they wore me out!
