New Finds, New Friends
Posted on 3:51 AM by follow me
Recently I met a new friend named Jill. She lives in my neighborhood, is an artist and loves many of the same things as me. So fun to find that in my own backyard after all of these years. Last week we went to Midland Antique Market, a place I have wanted to go for ages but hadn't gotten around to yet. I was missing out on something amazing. I already want to go back. I picked up some great things.
I found a bag of vintage Nativity pieces from Japan ($6). I'm always drawn to things with chippy paint and this girl really spoke to me.
I can never resist sheet music with just the right amount of age ($1) and these great typeset letters (.25 each) and these old boxes which I will soon cover with pretty paper ($1 each) which all sit atop what appears to be a homemade duvet cover, double sided in this pretty fabric ($10) that I am sure to cut up and use for other projects.
I don't care what time of year it is, if I see vintage Christmas glass ($8 for all), it's coming home with me. I couldn't stand to pack it all away quite yet so the mercury pics and any ornament that could work for Valentine's Day are still in my studio.
There were a few other treasures I picked up that day but they will have to wait a bit for their moment in the spotlight. I already can't wait for our next day out to the flea market. Although, I recently read that if you want to remain friends with someone, you shouldn't go to the flea market with them. I figure since my friendship with Shannan survived it, I should be safe.
