i like being thrifty!

this week's vintage shopping yielded a few treasures: i love the coordinating green vases: one is stamped 'haeger'...

another globe for my vast collection...

a tin lunch box shaped like an old time-y television showing 'i dream of jeanie'...

an alessi toothpick holder for 3 bucks...
spent $30 on everything.

what i saw

stopped by the antique's barn the other day and this is what i saw.

crape myrtles

crape myrtles are the iconic late summer flower, bringing bright blooms of color to otherwise desolate urban landscapes. later on, some produce little seed heads shaped like tiny bells which i cast in sterling silver, and make jewelry from.

collecting vintage

 i shot some more great vignettes during my shopping session last friday...

seems owls and creepy clowns/harlequins were/are very popular!
