Had a little fun today - my friend, Cathy, and I went off on a "hunt" to look at a chair she found on CL. Unfortunately, the chair did not measure up, so we got out of there in a hurry! On the way back we had seen a rather large Salvation Army store, so we headed there. I was in heaven because I found some nice "pickies" to pick through! My grandmother used to say I was "in glory hole" when I was picking through any manner of little goodies. I sure was! Plus, I found another retro shadow box to add to my collection! LOL Yes, this is becoming the home of the shadowbox! So, I'll share with you my goody pile.

| It's a Turner, from the early 60's-I plan to paint it gold, except for the end panels. |
Craft books ...
 |
| Some cute crafty books on Chenille animals and seasonal figures-wahoo! |
Mary Engelbreit DVD ...
 |
| It's from her Mother Goose book-it looks so cute! |
 |
| An old pom pom maker, vintage rickrack, binding, and trim, some little snowflakes, little wooden guys, teensy mouse angel, and candy canes!
One last pickie ...
|
 |
| A little Strawberry Shortcake Doll to be cleaned up and dressed! |
Here are shots of my other two shadow boxes ...
 |
| This is also a Turner, I painted it gold. It has vintage glass on it and two Cameo Lady Head vases. |
 |
| This one is a beauty-all mirrored. This has my retro glass, 2 vintage Lady Head vases, a vintage Whitehall budvase from England, and a cute vintage elephant.
So, there you have it! I think it was a good picking day!!!
Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!!!

Hi Sharon! I wasn't a blogger myself for ages. But I just had to take the plunge! Maybe at some point you will, too! Yes, Miss E's precious Owl-he actually fluttered all over when he arrived, and finally settled down where he is. Miss E was such an encouragement to me and I'm excited to begin my blogging journey. That is cool that you lived here at one time. Yes, it's getting pretty with all of the color changes going on. But also getting a bit nippy, too! LOL

ReplyDeleteThanks Holly! It has been a nice reception for me, thanks to our Lovely Miss E!!!!
DeleteWelcome to blogging! I love all the "pickies" you found. (I love that word for them.) I'm always on the lookout for vintage ric-rac and trims for the ornaments I make, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It seems like NOW I'm on the lookout for so many different things. Some for crafting, some for decorating, some just for, well -- collecting!! LOL
DeleteWill you look at that Sandie! Wonderful comments to welcome you. I just knew in my heart so many of us have responded to your smiling face and couldn't wait for you to have your own blog. These shadow boxes are truly neat. I had never heard of them. Imagine such great things being at the thrift store! Have a lovely week ahead! Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Miss E!! I have hardly been off this computer-looking, looking, looking for more blogging stuff!! But BIG thanks to you for spreading the word, I truly appreciate it! XOXO 'n hugs
DeleteHey Sandie, so glad to see that you are blogging! I can tell that you spent a while on your blog-it's adorable! Looks like you had so much fun at the SA and found some good stuff. I didn't know that ME made a DVD. I must check that out! I love her stuff. Have a great rest of the weekend and happy crafting, Holly
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Holly!! I think I could just spend days here on my computer looking for blogging stuff, and thinking about blinging it up! LOL I'm glad you think it looks okay. I am also thankful for everyone who has stopped by and left comments. It is so nice to be so happily welcomed!!!
