Another year, another Peddler Faire!

It was that time of year again, and before I make my post of goodies, I will first post about Posting! Rather, a genius way to display your post earrings! Danglies too! A booth Amy and I went to this year used an embrodiery hoop to display earrings. When she sold them, it was easy to flip over the whole thing and yank the desired ones out! Super brilliant. Go to Michael's, and get what you need! Paint the hoop if you like! I did white myself! And then just get the embrodiery fabric. (it is usually on the same aisle) easy, cute, and organized!

Attic Hunting!

Well, I was able to be an American Picker this week over at my great aunt's house! got some really fun stuff that will be made into MORE fun stuff, with the help of my friend Amy! My favorite find is the small canvas suitcase. I just about DIED when both latches snapped open with ease. Every single one I have seen like it was busted in some form or another. The rest are just TONS of fun. really interesting pieces that I couldn't just leave to rott in a cracking old ziploc facsimile. Earrings are definitely the first thing I will make.

The other really fun thing is what I brought them all back in, which is an old tin from Blums of San Francisco! Sorry about the long pauses in posts. Again, it's rare I come across such fun pieces. I will be sure to post the reconfigurings and polished pieces as I restore them!
