So if you read my last post, you saw that I scored big and spent $10 at the flea market warehouse. Scored on the lovely chandelier crystals and some buttons. I did go back and bought the wooden cabinet. DH wasn't too happy - it wasn't too expensive, but he said he could have made it himself. He's right. He's quite handy that way. But then again, he hired someone to create a facebook page for his business. Hello. I think we're even.
I sat at my desk with my lovely crystals, some flea market jewelry, Jenni Bowlin chipboard buttons, Jenni Bowlin pins, wire, flea market ribbon, wire cutters, and Windex. I was in heaven. I could honestly think of nothing more fun than chopping apart the flea market stuff and finding ways to put it together with my Jenni Bowlin stash.
I have a wire tree that I put out at Christmas, and then change up the ornaments in January to my beaded snowflakes, and then change it up again at Easter to an Easter tree. And here are my new Easter ornaments:

They were actually blowing in the wind - and I caught it:
And I was back at the warehouse again Saturday with my friend Amy and her sweet daughter Elizabeth. That's three times in a week. The owner thinks I'm weird.
We were on the prowl and were searching for seam binding. If you ever want to look for fabric type stuff with anyone, take Amy. She knows everything. She has a family history with this stuff:
me: I think this is seam binding!
Amy: No, that's double faced satin ribbon.
me: I think this is seam binding!
Amy: No, that's old wrapping ribbon.
me: I think this is seam binding!
Amy: No, that's blanket binding.
me: I think this is seam binding!
well . . . you get the picture.
Amy found a hidden spot of potential treasures:
Could there be seam binding in there?
Nope, no seam binding.
And then we got in trouble for looking in places we weren't supposed to be. That's always fun.
I spent another $10 on buttons and crystals. They definitely think I'm weird.
There was a tag sale in the next building and guess what we found?
yep - seam binding. Just a little. But we found it. And I was going to take a picture of the precious seam binding, but broke a glass jar in the process. Yep. That's me.
Next project - I've got tons of hybrid stuff in the works - can't wait to share. Hybrid is SO.MUCH.FUN.
leaving you with this. i love moss:
Thanks so much for visiting! - betsy
