Treasures and One Mans Trash

Happy Sunday, just wanted to share some new crafts and treasures with all my friends in blog land.
Here are some tags that I created for our show coming up in March. Roses are so beautiful!!!


I found this little treasure, still in the box with instructions at an estate sale on Friday. Wave Comb. I had no idea how those women got those pretty little waves in their hair....Now I do.

Here is a little plaque I found at the Treasure House. It was kind of plain so I spruced it up.....
Now it looks perfect!!!


This is a Little metal file box was a really ugly green. After a complete makeover she is ready for Paris.
What a transformation..


Here is the wall above my couch that I have been working on. It is still a work in progress. Don't you just love the cottage print. I found that at the GW for $5.00....
I wish I could order a few more...

This little treasure was one mans trash. Now it holds a special place in my heart.
I saw this and a vintage typewriter on Friday and decided to go back on Saturday when it was half price to pruchase it. I was to meet Christa there at 9:00 but like usual I was late and missed her. To my dismay the typewriter was gone but the adding machine was still there waiting for me with a price of only $2.00.
Later on I received a call from Christa saying sorry she missed me and I proceeded to tell her the my typewriter was gone, however she already knew because she was now the new proud owner of MY vintage typewriter.....She said I could visit anytime...Thanks Christa
Hope you all have a great week ahead.

The adding machine is a neat find. I used to ten-key a lot in my former career and I can't imagine having to key with my left hand and pulling with my right....thank goodness for technology!!! I do love the typewriter and it may be yours someday......when is your birthday ;o)?

I like the tags....very pretty ;o).

Love your sweet cottage picture. Bummer about the typewriter, but I'm glad you were able to pick up the adding machine, $2.00, pretty good!

Hi Julie , The camera I droppes was a Kodak Easyshare. I've had it a couple of years. I do like it - maybe I should stay with a Kodak product. My daughter has a Rebel but that may be too much camera for my needs. Thanks a bunch!

Julie, your support and concern have been wonderful during my "big transition". I can't wait to go junkin with you and Christa. Check out my spot at the Saltbox Sampler. I'll be working Mondays and Tuesdays there, so I can go to shows and sales, now! Woo-hoo!
