Journal Supplies

This is my stash for creating journals...junk.. you never know what you will find or where you will find it. I enjoy the hunt at thrift stores, auctions, flea markets, old houses. I've never been very artistic, creative yes, artistic I believe is more then that. So I am happy when I've coordinated a journal and it turns into a treasure.

Junkin Find

I was thrilled to find this old scrapbook on our flea market trip today, since it was the only thing I bought I was glad it was such a find

 
pages of wedding wishes, gift cards, these are so quaint, the handwriting is all so neat, I wish they had pictures of the wedding, but there were none, just the cards

They took there honeymoon in Niagra Falls. A couple pages with post cards, matchbooks, receipts, business cards. A Hotel receipt showed they paid $4.00 for the hotel room. There was a flyer from Heart Island, I thought it was a neat find since we used to visit this every year when I was a child. I took my children to see it years ago, it's a beautiful castle a man built for his wife.

Baby Congradulations cards..It's a Girl..These are so sweet, nothing as cute as vintage babies...I wonder if they only had the one daughter

Birthday cards..not sure if these were for the women who created the scrapbook or the baby girl she had. I enjoyed getting a glimpse into this womans life, of course it makes me curious who she was, what she looked like..
I look forward to using these wonderful finds, I might use some in my journals

Yard Sale Goodies

I had a late start Saturday and made it to three yard sales, one being at a friends house, which is always nice

The first one was what appeared to be leftovers from an antique store or similar. I picked up these cute pictures and the glassware to follow. 

The books in the back of the photo are both on dutch oven cooking, I have the oven and do use it, just not over an open fire, so this is on my to do list.

 I scored a paper sack full of vintage patterns and this cute cowgirl boot material along with a horse belt buckle.

 look more blue glass, it just seems to find me now, I love this little camp set. I called it enamel and confused the man when I tried to purchase it. Even the pretty sheet used as a back drop was a good find

This gorgeous breadbox was a great find of the day, the cute little embroidered sign has a pocket for special notes and the letter holder would be great for a chicken (rooster) lover

Friday Junkin

Ok, so my first day to myself after getting back from our trip, so what am I gonna do??

Go Junkin of course, Friday yardsales are not hot around here, but i'm gonna check at least one out

 I went to this yard sale and got a nice little collection of stuff, paid for it and put it in the truck when the lady mentioned she was also selling the tables, I had not even looked at those, but this one was oh so cute so I said I would take it.

 the details are just great, and it folds up, too cute

 this apron was is sweet in the blue

 see the metal train toy and lady bug in the corner?

 trivets, utensils, scale

 this little guy is going to be added to my bird trio set on etsy

 cute metal ladybug, pull it back and it rolls

 couple of nice trivets and this glass bowl has a sweet silver flower in the middle

 never seen this style trivet, silver trinket box

 collection of utensils, egg slicer, biscuit cutter, cheese graters, Ice prong

I had to adjust the scales, so they are spot on now, cute too

loved the look of this silver tray, would be nice on a dresser holding jewelry

Vintage Headboard

Today I surely do...
look what my neighbor brought me, it will make a great project, it could be used as a bench backing, just add sides and a cushion. perhaps? wall art? oh so many choices

Not Sure What it is...

I found this interesting piece at a local flea market this weekend. Not sure what it's original purpose was.
I think it will look great hung in the kitchen for hanging towels.
