Considering the high temps predicted, I wasn't keen on
scouting for yard sales, but I was persuaded.
I found about a half dozen online, in the
neighborhood, and scored most of my finds at
the first one down the street.
Several Norman Rockwell prints
Fraktur wedding certificate
Transparencies (2 full boxes; colored ones included!)
shredded paper (for adding color to my paper making)
sewing notions and lace trims,
several beads and wire in cupcake tin,
glass squares for mosaics,
and a lace ruffle (twin bed size)
Assorted books for mixed media projects,
folk art painting inspiration,
and one on Anderson's Fairy Tales.
Storage!
One can never have enough storage!
At least 4 feet tall, and solid.
The drawers are deep and roomy!
My bonus find!
Total cost $25.00 for EVERYTHING
Today I plan to plant my veggies
and try my first attempt at making
paper from recycled envelopes.
I'm using my new Arnold Grummar
deckle mold, purchased from Paper Alice.
She is the sweetest gal, and her video
is what convinced me to buy the mold.
I'm going to experiment with lavendar buds
colored shredded paper and glitter.
This hot weather will dry it quick.
(stay tuned!)
Happy Father's Day to all those
deserving dads!

What a beautiful blog! Thanks for sharing your fun finds. I'm visiting my sister the first week in July in Edmonton and she has a whole week of second hand and antique mapped out for us!

The storage unit is certainly a useful item. I would have it full of quilty stuff in no time at all.
