Tiny Treasures
Garage sale season has begun here in the suburbs. I'm still purging my own excess from the move, so I don't need to bring much more in. However, a couple of tiny treasures found their way here. This sweet little oval oil painting of a Dutch windmill set me back 25cents. Speaking of deals, see that potted orchid down there? I've had it since January and it's still ticking...is this normal?
I also used a couple of pages from one of my favorite things which is this note pad from Sugarboo Designs. At the bottom of each page is a lovely quote which is perforated so you can tear it off and share it or use it in your own creative way. I recently had dinner with a friend I don't get to see often enough and I think I will leave this laboratory vial with the quote and a feather inside in her mailbox for her.
Anagrams game. Love the black and white letter tiles.
I think these are French prayer books. Pretty dusky purple covers.
I love handmade business cards. So I got my hands out and made some with tags I picked up at the thrift store and some scrapbook tape from Hobby in the Lobby (that's what we call it)
