Finally...some finds!

It's hard to believe it's been almost four months since I've posted here! There have been lots of family things going on - health-related and otherwise - and in early April our sweet Georgia went to the Rainbow Bridge. So it's been a bit of a rough year so far!




Junking and Etsy are my distractions, but good estate sale finds have been few and far between with not many things worthy of sharing. A few weekends ago I did find a good stash of vintage jewelry so was able to add some earrings and necklaces to my stash.





The black sequined pieces are shoe clips - not vintage, but they'll be great for crafting. The brooch is vintage.



There were several rhinestone necklaces so I grabbed them all. The oldest - and largest - has some discoloration but is my favorite and I'll most likely hang onto it. 






This all came from a barn sale. The DH thought he was going to find lots of man things, but instead the barn was full of clothing, jewelry and glassware. Too bad for him but great for me!

We took a short road trip on a recent Saturday for a couple of estate sales. We had a nice day but I didn't find a lot - just some buttons and one vintage hat that yielded some shabby but lovely pink flowers. 






































The pink flowers have already been listed on Etsy and sold. I did list a few other millinery lots this week, though, including these.



That's it for now. I hope to have more finds to share in the next few weeks. I've not been to any classes lately and am missing that, so perhaps I'll have a class project to share soon, too. Hope all of you are getting your inspiration on!
