Oh My........

I guess I took a bit of a blog break didn't I?

Well, I'm sorry for being away for so long, but I just didn't feel like I had much worthwhile to share so I kept letting more and more time go by without updating my blog with a new post.   But I'll make up for it today as I have several different things to share today.

Haven't been doing anything too exciting.  Just playing in my craft room making all sorts of new things.  These are just a couple of my new creations.

A spring themed wall hanging..

 
And a pretty new altered spool.....
 



And then despite a major snow storm swirling through Minnesota mid-day on the first day of the event, I still managed to attend the much anticipated spring Junk Bonanza event that I had been looking forward to all winter.  I wasn't going to let the weather stop me.  It was definitely worth the white knuckle drive home through the rain, sleet and snow as I snagged myself some awesome new and vintage treasures.

My first copy of the Jeanne D' Arc Living magazine.  Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous magazine.  One that I think will become one of my favorites, right up there with Somerset Life.


A beautiful floral vintage vase (a steal at just $5.00)....


A bag of lavender with a few lace trimmed vintage clothespins tucked inside..


A vintage sewing drawer.



Two vintage spools wrapped with more vintage trims..


A few more small flashcards to use in my craft projects.


And a darling market bag made from a vintage tablecloth and lined in pink polka dot fabric..



Junk Bonanza is definitely an amazing event and I am so glad that I live close enough to attend this event.  I'm already looking forward to the next one in September.

Well, I know that's a lot for one day, but I hope it makes up for my lack of posts lately.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

See you again soon!!!!

P.S. Sorry for all the shadows in my pictures. I took these with my iPod when the lighting in the room wasn't the best.
