What's new.....

Well, most important on the agenda is my cute mommy is home! She did not want me taking her picture but I had too... gotta show off that pretty nightie! Anyway she is doing well, better than she has all summer and we have a nurse coming every third day so I am calmer because I know we have support. So hopefully we are getting back to our normal routines because I have to go back to work on Wednesday.
My mom felt so good, she wanted to help me get started on some projects for a halloween fair that I will be doing in Oct. called Glitterfest. So she helped me sew some backgrounds for some new banners....I love halloween and am really excited to work with all my fun stuff!

I promised to show you my loot from last weeks flea market adventure. I noticed after I took the picture that everything is in the same color pallette...Anyway, there isn't much but I do love what I got:
Vintage religious cards....they are just so pretty and calming...some tiny little christmas cards, a couple of pretty rhinestone brooches and a cross/medal. And two powder boxes that make my heart smile. The one has a Marie Antoinette era picture on it and little feet on the bottom of it...that one I am going to keep, the other will probably become one of my kits...I have only seen newer powder boxes that are glass bottomed and these are just wonderful!

Here is a closeup of the jewels...
Anyway, thanks for the well-wishes for my mom, I am definitely a happier person and calmer that she is doing so much better!
I will be posting soon about some things that I have listed in my etsy...I am finally getting some things put together! Have a great weekend! karen....
