Antiquing and fun finds

So I had this past Friday off since I worked the previous weekend and Memorial day so I went to a fabulous antique store in a little Victorian town called Bellefonte. I picked up all sorts of goodies. Here is a sampling.

Laces, skeleton keys, seam binding

This image above was taken in the reflection of an old jewelry box I bought. Isn't it so neat. The brown spots you see are actually in the back of the mirror. Age spots, anyone?. lol

I bought old cigar boxes for a few fun projects I have up my sleeve. Stay tuned for those.

The front of thejewelry box.

More lace through the old mirror. You should try this technique. Got an antique mirror? Pull it out and play around with the images. It's fun!

I was gifted with this fun and pretty bookmark from the lovely Luthien of Pimp and Paint. We were involved with a Pay if forward sort of fungame on Tali's blog and you sent something from your shop to the next person that commented after you. It came all the way from Malaysia.

I have been working on my Vintage creation for Inspiration Avenue's Weekly Challenge. I can't wait to see all of the creations. Should be fun. If you can participate, please do. If you just want to pop over to see the creations, they are posted at 5pm EST on Sundays on their blog. Hope to see your work there. Also, we are looking for new artists to join our etsy street team. Just check out our blog to get to know us and let us know in a comment if you are interested.

Oh yeah the last day of September there will be a winner announced for this months Giveaway so hop over and enter here.
