I just wanted to share a few pictures with you for no other reason than for some inspiration.
A couple of pictures from the crowdedest room in the house...my studio!
Skeleton keys have been calling me lately. Oh and those charming brooches? Yum! Here's another view...
Shiny happy!
That big jar is full of ribbon from the ribbon closet of the fab Andrea. Another view...
This girl is to ribbon how I am to buttons.
I also wanted to share with you some of my finds from last weekend's garage saleing adventures. It was definitely a quality vs quantity deal. Didn't find much, but what I did find was S'WHEAT!
Some old canning jars. Even a few of the old blue ones. I LOVE this kind of crap!
I paid too much for these but I could NOT walk away. They needed to go home with me! :-) I've got a few ideas of what to put in them. Ephemera, perhaps?
I also found these ornaments...
I paid $3.00 for the whole box.
So how you doin'? Can you stand all these treats!? I've got a few more things to share with you, but I'll leave those for later in the week!!!
Take care, my lovelies!
Thank you for the goodies tour. I love your studio! And that abundance of ephemera just waiting to be put together....it's like an ephemera explosion, or ephemera ecstasy!!!
Love, love, love you.

wow, what great stuff!!
those ornaments are beautiful and what a deal, how could you not pass them up?!
i always see the signs for estate and garage sales and always think "next time I will stop". You have inspired me to STOP.
thanks for the tour!

YES! I'm inspired! To go shopping for stuff at flea markets. I wish I could find keys like those here. Haven't seen any old rusty ones anywhere! They are so cool, I agree with you.
take care!

OHHHHHHH.....I needed to contact YOU today. I went to an estate sale and there were literally 100's of BLUE canning jars!!!! I wished I'd read this post before tonight! OUCH. They were 50 cents each!!!! If you want more...let me know. I can call the Estate Sale Clean Up Guys and see if I can grab those for you!!!!
