The post below was actually my show and tell. It is about the Marie Antoinette Soiree that Joy at Cupid Charm held for the Queens birthday. So check it out, there was some amazing blog postings yesterday.
But I had to make a late addition. I went with my friend Kay to an antique mall today and found some really fun stuff. I guess I should have, we were there almost 5 hours! I was pooped, but I had a blast. I got this adorable vintage pink purse, it just screams "gail". I found some pink and white toile fabric. There is also a pretty piece of vintage fabric with blue and lavender morning glories all over it, but Googars is sitting on it :). Then I bought 2 big huge bags and 2 mason jars of "junk jewelry", and there are some treasures in this find. I havent even had time to sort through it all yet. I also got this wire dress from. I am searching high and low for these to paint and make fancy dress to be put on my website. And I found an adorable green hat with the net and velvet flowers and little red strawberries. Then I found this cute bottle. It says Gruelaine, from france, so how fancy,,, but it has bees in the glass, so I am going to fancy it up with some bee charms I have and some pretty ribbons. I will be by to visit all of you today. I cant wait to see what your all up to. Happy creating,,,, gail

Hi Gail - -
ReplyDeleteBoy, you really hit the jackpot!!
I just love looking around flea markets and antique malls - - times just flies doesn't it?!
Oh what fun and what treasures !
ReplyDeleteI know you will make them even more beautiful.
Hi Gail,
ReplyDeleteYou sure did well at the mall. That bag definitely is you. Love the kitty, too.
You sure did hit the jackpot! Great treasures. The Guerlaine bottle brings back memories for me. My grandmother used to wear Guerlaines l'heur bleu (spelling?), means blue hour. I thought that was the most glamorous scent in the world.
