Spring Bling!

Wow, have I been busy this week! I can hardly believe that it's Friday tomorrow. Time sure flies when you're thrifting and crafting.

A couple people thought that maybe these jewels on a stick were hat pins, but I think they are a little too long for this. To me they just look like some broken jewelry that has been soldered onto a metal stick, but they look pretty cute in my little pots, don't cha think?









I have been working on a little project for a while now that I finally completed.Got this neat little trunk last summer at Goodwill and thought it needed a little something to make it look a little cuter.

(Before)







First I covered it with some vintage sheet music.



(During)












Then I glued on some neat vintage scrappy images and voila! I'm done.
(After)

I forgot to take a picture of the inside, but it is just covered in some black and white paper. I thought of doing the inside too, but I thought it looked okay the way it is. I took this little cutie over to Monticello today where I hope someone will see it and decide that they can't live without it.



Today Tammy and I got together for our thrifting "date." Let me tell you, we had so much fun. We kind of thrifted our way to Monticello stopping at two Goodwills, the Deseret Shop and Value Village. We both found lots of treasures and Tammy found some great display pieces for some shows she has coming up.

Here's Tammy at Goodwill with lots of goodies she found.
















Tammy had never been to Monticello so we ended our shopping day there. Doesn't she look like she's having a great time? We stopped for a little lunch at Monti's (little cafe in Monticello) and finished our shopping.









Here are the results of my day of thrifting including a couple things I found at Monticello.



I won't bore you with a list of everything, but if you want to get a better view go ahead and click away.










Here is more bling I found today.














But my favorite finds of the day would be these:
vintage millinery corsage and little mirror








and these:

vintage birthday candles and cute little doll in a pink dress.


Well, I'm all tired out from all that shopping.


Have a fab weekend!
