And another thing ...

Did you know I have an Etsy shop for stuff I've made? It's called "The Paper Flea Studio" and there's a button for it right over there on the right. See it? Anyhoo ... I'm starting to post some of my creations over there if you're so inclined ...

Like this beach sign made with repurposed kitchen cabinet panels and cool letters cut out of old metal ...

Noodling around + new stuff

Been cleaning off my desk and unearthing a number of treasures ... some I'm pasting onto paper and making new journal pages, others I'm posting to the store. Fun for all!

Above is a collection of vintage post office flash cards; below is a photo envelope from Italia! See them at http://www.thepaperfleamarket.com/

Silver lining

Oh my golly, it's been awhile! Been so, so busy creating for a local show, then was away for the weekend. I was scheduled to fly out Friday evening, but if you live on the East Coast, you know we had horrendous storms. After sitting at the airport for 4 hours, my flight was canceled and I was rebooked for a flight the next day at noon. At first I was fuming, but then it dawned on me that by leaving later, I could attend one of my favorite really-big-and-held-only-once-a-year local church yard sales Saturday morning. So I got up extra early, and picked up a few goodies before my flight...

$1.00 for that rhinestone pin above?!?!? Pinch me!

Vintage tea caddy and enamel pot ... 10 cents each! Get outta town! (usually that's just a saying, but this time I actually did)

Just can't get enough fabric!
