Today my dh took dd to a baseball game so I've had my day to myself....first stop was the flea market. I only found two things, the faded and tattered shoe stretchers above and an old road map of Texas for my Dad.
The shoe stretchers inspired me to gussy up a plain pair that I've had awhile with my favorite new fabric...the blue pair is one I've had for many years and they're handpainted (not by me! ) These are the only shoe stretchers I own, love them all.
The round basket was found at St. Vinnies and it has a real "Pottery Barn" vibe to it, and it's really big to store some magazines in my living room. The train case was found there as well and now lives in my dd's bedroom. One of my most unique recent finds was this old children's book at Goodwill...it has an old book cover on it that is just ancient, I didn't know they even made these textbook covers back then....
I've got all my windows open so I can smell my lilacs which are in full bloom, now it's back to cleaning my studio up....pictures of that will follow soon....have a great week friends!
