Good Day to all of my fabulous blogging friends. Hope you have all enjoyed a nice weekend. I had a busy one doing a show for my dog treat boutique (I forgot the camera!). Today I was able to relax a bit and get to the flea market. I found some fabulous rhinestone brooches that I'll be recreating into new jewelry pieces. I also found these fabulous metal frames. I'm thinking Christmas decor projects for these - either Christmas or some kind of old family photo project. Still playing with the ideas in my head. I hope to have some time this week to actually create! The vendor had a few more of these frames and now I'm wishing I had purchased them all! I almost always have some sort of buyers remorse after leaving the flea market - always remorse that I didn't buy more things or buy the one or two items that I was unsure of!
I'm a fan of Edgar Allan Poe so I was all over this piece by the very talented Kris Hurst. Perfect for Halloween. I keep moving him around as I want to be able to see him at all times. This piece really puts me in the spirit.
Kris also included some fun tickets and tags. I especially like the Halloween themes!
Karla I can't wait to see what you make with that bling!
ReplyDeletegorgeous pics!!! I love the creations Kris makes!!
ReplyDeleteI just love those brooches, I'm looking forward to seeing how you re-jewel them! Great Halloween items, love the tickets!
ReplyDeleteKarla, I love your finds!! Those rhinestone pieces will be beautiful for your jewelry.
ReplyDeleteOh, those little frames will be wonderful for all sorts of projects!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do with them.
I don't think I've ever returned from a flea market without saying, "Rats, I should have bought that!". LOL

Wow! Fun flea market finds indeed! I always get the "I should haves" after flea markets! I am still sad my hubby talked me out of a huge pickle jar full of buttons for $30.00!! Do I really need more? :)
