A Fun Afternoon Shopping And Brainstorming With The Gypsies

 Today was supposed to be a brainstorming creating day for Jill and I.   We have a new venture together and there is quite a lot of work involved before we can unveil it here on blotspot and Etsy.
Sooo...What do we end up doing after an hour of talking and eating toffee?  (Lauren brought us a wonderful lunch of humus and flat bread topped off with wonderful toffee from Trader Joe's)

We went shopping at the craft stores.  These delightful pictures are from Michael's.  I can not wait until this isle is finished...Really I don't think one is going to be enough.

 Look at all the yummy French bling they have brought in.......I really want one of these wire Eiffel towers (You can never have too many Eiffel towers about)

 They still have quite a bit of stock to bring in it looks like.....

 The Gypsies found some bling....You can't tell in the packages...But these are pretty flower rings.

 We love Michael's dollar bins...Look at these fun note cards Jill found.

Lauren found some neat stickers and big alphabet letters on the bottom shelf.

I keep forgetting to take pictures when we are at Ben Franklin...That is our local small craft store and it very nice.  They have a wonderful selection of scrap booking papers and a very good bead and charm section.  We went there first...So next time I will remember to take pictures.

Dominoe Redux With A French Twist Set

Who says you have to live with ugly useless things laying around...Lol. A few months ago my wonderful dad handed me a handful of dominoes he had found in the garage. You just have to love my dad...He finds me the most amazing things to play with. He said.. "I saw these and just thought you could do something with them". Yep.. He knows me well. I would really call myself a recycle artist. I see things other people throw away and I want to make them useful..or beautiful.

I adore this little set. I can just see them tucked on an office desk...on a book shelf, mantel, bedside table. Oh my gosh..Just anywhere you want something pretty. Perfect gift too!!!


The matchbox is decorated with a sweet vintage rhinestone pin...and a lovely lovely antique black glass Victorian button. Delightful
