What fun to buy your own goodies with a little
Christmas money.
Found this one on my day trip to Pearce, AZ
A gift from the desert
More gifts from the desert.
How I love little bundles of aged wire
A little bling on my walk to the gym.
I think I may have to deconstruct this for embellishments
The same walk,
It's a wonder I don't run into things with my eyes always focused on the ground!
Das BOOT!
The best find of the day!
A mini photo cropper from back in the day.
I couldn't resist the little table it was on either.
The antique store owner said this was from Eastman Kodak Company
I got to pick out some handmade papers as a present from my husband
I'm going to have some fun with these!
From the late 1800's
Under the direction of my husband, my stepson was able to pick out just the right stuff
from the antique stores of Old Bisbee!
The biggest surprise from my husband from a vendor at the last show I did in Alaska!
Some gifts from the studio ( apologies for the dust on my scanner!)
Silver and swirls
My lampwork beads
Twistable baubles for embellishments and components for jewelry design.

ReplyDeleteOOOO I agree, love the boot!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you been here to Vegas, oh you would die if I took you out to the place they used to dump metal and glass!! All vintage and beautiful.
it was a hoax that they were telling people 30 years ago that they were recycling and they were just dumping into the desert, sad but perfect for us artist to dig in.
