Flea Finds!

I had a really fun time this morning at our local flea market. I was able to sneak out early this morning and go by myself - WAHOO!!!.... I was trying to focus on sets for my etsy shoppe and found 3 pretty tins to fill with arting goodies, two old bottles..some really pretty buttons- rhinestone, plastic, mother of pearl...lots of really oldies!

I got these cute cupcake picks ...one of the bunnies was camera shy and jumped out of the picture when I snapped it! The two sets on the left will go on etsy soon and the pineapple picks will be added to my beach babe/mermaid inspiration sets that will be coming soon also.

I couldn't pass up this pretty paper....it is called wrapping paper but it equates to our decorated tissue paper- just a little thicker!

So, I am off to wash some buttons and bottles! Hope your weekend was wonderful! hugs! karen.....

Friday Flea Market!

I am a little late in posting today, it's my second day off of work and I was enjoying being a couch potato with my girl!
I have two offerings for today. The first is a doll, she is old but I don't know her age. Her face is composition and her body is cloth. She is in wonderful condition and would make a great addition to any doll collection.

She is $8.95 + Shipping an handling

My second offering is actually two separate sales. These are curtain panels that I bought because I loved the fabric...I wanted to make purses, flea market bags and all kind of goodies with them but I am not much of a seamstress and haven't had the heart to cut into them so I am offering them here.

The smallest panel measures 70" L X 60" W and is $8.00 + shipping and handling

The larger is 124"L X 45" W and is $12.00 + shipping for the panel

Each panel has one catch in it but could easily be worked around.

I have one more but it is so large that I didn't know how to measure it without taking it on the lawn but I will offer it for the same price of $12 if purchased with the larger piece. sold, thank you!

If you are interested just leave a comment with an email addy and I will get you a shipping price and paypal addy!

Thanks for looking! Click on the red polka dot logo on my sidebar and go see the other wonderful sellers out there! Have a great friday! karen....

Bad Blog Award Recipient!

I was nominated for a blog award from the wonderful Diane of Nellies Nest. I didn't know who to nominate because I love so many different blogs, some artists, some home design blogs, some just fun and funky blogs... I have been sooo... bad and haven't even posted that I won this lovely award!

So, Instead of nominating 7 blogs, I am nominating all the blogs on my list (on right hand side) because they are all wonderful!

Thank you Diane! I feel honored and hopefully I can get back in your good graces!

Show and Tell Sunday

Sorry I am posting so late! I got ambitious and made my family a big breakfast this morning, oblivious to the fact that I didn't have this ready last night!
Anyway, show and tell is about ephemera today. I have tons of old paper goodies, I love paper! I decided to share a bit of my postcard collection with you today. This was my first passion in collecting ephemera.
Here is the album I keep most of my postcards in. I found it at Target on clearance and it is perfect. With the album is some of my floral/bird/shoe cards.....
Here are some more of my florals:

Now some glamour girls:

And next, vintage beach babes. These are the postcards that I started collecting at first and still love these seaside cuties!

And the backs are wonderful for using as backgrounds in your art!

Hope you enjoyed my little collection! Have fun visiting all the other Show and Tell Sunday bloggers! xoxo karen.....

Friday Flea Market

I did not get any fun finds this week for friday flea market but I know there is a bunch of fun vendors to go visit. So go click on this icon on my sidebar and shop away! I do have alot of fun art kits and some vintage on my etsy site if you would like to take a look! Have a great day! karen....

Cucumbers and Squash and a pepper Oh My!

This is tonight's bounty from our little patch of garden:

And look how big it has grown! I swear it went from the last picture I posted to this one overnight!
And now I would like to introduce you to our little Oreo:

She's kinda a dork but she's our dork! She has a boyfriend ( a longtime family friend) who brings her treats when he visits and she sits like this practically the whole time he is visiting:
That is why our friend has nicknamed her :Flat Bottom!"

And this is what Oreo looks like when you scold her or she knows she is being a pill!

Hope you have a great night, I think I will go get some beagle-love!

hugs! karen......
