So this is what we came home with this week. Two packages of new paint brushes. I go thru paint brushes like crazy, so we always snap them up. 7 whole skeins of yarn and a portion of another skein. Added bonus - I liked the colors. I'm making another blanket so I grab nice colors at estate sales whenever I see them.
An almost full can of Minwax and a 3/4 full bottle of Mod Podge. A utility knife and a folding ruler. The red handled scoop has some vintage rust on it and matches a kitchen fork I picked up a couple weeks ago, so I will list them together in my shop. The green tin is a sewing machine accessory box. I like to fill them with sewing notions and sell them in my shop as well.
Here's another shot of the sewing box. After I cleaned it up it looked a little better than this....
A quilt rack to re-do....
Ok, I got totally skunked on this one. So badly in fact that I am almost embarrassed to even admit it. I found this in a stack of picture frames and got all excited about the hand stitched picture. It was so pretty and they only wanted $ 2.00 for it. The glass on the frame was broken, but I didn't care because I was positive the embroidered sampler was worth something....
Then we got it home and I took it out and realized it was a photo print. Crap - it looked so real. What an idiot I am. Here I was thinking I had a BIG find and I got it stuck right in my butt. LOL. Oh well, at least I didn't spend much on it and I can re-use the frame for something. I sure learned a lesson on that one.
Louie picked this up for the lake house...
And I picked this up for the lake house. Aren't they cute? I love Precious Moments and have quite a few of them...
LOVE the patina on these brass lion's. I have no idea what I'll do with them, but for a quarter apiece, I took them.
I grabbed this to hold the bracelets and key chains that I make. It works perfectly for that!
Some more hangers for my shop....
Full bottles of glue and the exact size and color belt that I needed for handles for the trunk we are currently refinishing. Louie already has them installed!
And I saved the best for last! This flag is from the high school I went to in Chicago, It could possibly be from around the time I went there as it looks pretty familiar. Louie actually saw it first and held onto it for me until I caught up with him in the room he was in. He's getting a pretty good handle on the kind of stuff I like. Go Eagles!!
On another note - here's a new bracelet I'm selling. It says "Go where the wind takes you" and it's available here. Don't forget, I do custom bracelets and key chains so get your orders in before the holidays. I'm offering all my blogger friends a 10% discount on any item from my shop that is over
$ 10.00. Just use the coupon code blog10 at checkout. Discount is good until 12-31-2015. Here's a link to the store.
Ok, I have lots of stuff coming up - a book review for Rizzoli Publishing as well as an author interview, and I have lots of pictures to share from our recent trip to Colorado and Wyoming. We had an awesome time. So, see you later this week.
