Today I would love
to be treasure hunting
but it is raining so
I will create and dream
of treasure hunting ~
This is my sister, Kim ~
we love going to Canton
when she visits
from California ~
I miss her!!
I am off to sew and
listen to the
birdies singing
in the rain ~
I am off to Canton today to find some wonderful treasures to add to my website ~ yay !!! I love Canton !!
Yesterday I started adding some beautiful handmade cards and also some wonderful hand stamped fabric ribbon that I adore !
I will be adding more cards when I return later tonight or tomorrow ~
Well I was so happy to get pictures of some of my favorite Canton shops and got back to my hotel, downloaded the pics and they were all blurry !!
I was totally bummed but I am going to show you some of the treasures that I came home with ~
This is just one of the things that I have been looking for forever and finally got ~ I am not sure if I am going to sell it but most likely I will ~
After Canton I went to California for a couple of days soooo nothing is unpacked ~ I will add more treasure pictures as I unpack them ~
Talk to you soon !
I am on my way to Canton tomorrow for 2 days ~ I am hoping that I will find alot of treasures specifically more rose china ~ last month was awesome beyond belief !!! I am on the hunt for crinoline skirts, pink doilies, china ( of course ) and vintage mercury Christmas balls as well as anything else that catches my eye ~ they had the Christmas balls last month but they were $15 a box ~
I will leave you with some of the new soldered charms that have just been added in the Jewelry category ~ most of the charms have been embellished with German glass glitter ~ I just love the sparkle that it gives ~
Talk to you soon with some fun pics too !
Every time I go to Canton, or to any flea market for that matter, I have something in particular that I am really really hunting for ~ I am always looking for old china with pink roses, architectural finds, lace, old linens ~ all of those things are so much fun to look for but this time I was looking for vintage rhinestone jewelry ~ It is so hard to find lately ~ I guess I am not the only one looking for it ~
I hit a treasure chest at one of the vendors ~ he had a bag stuffed away because he didn't think anybody would want it ~ it was full of broken rhinestone jewelry ~
I was sooo excited because that is what I was looking for so I can embellish more soldered charms with it ~
Then I spotted a vintage tiara that was kind of shoved to the side and asked him about it ~ he didn't think anyone would want that either ~ I almost bought a new one because I love them but I am so glad to have found a vintage one !! That is even better ~
You will see a lot of this tiara in my pictures :o)
I am not sure what the "thing" will be next month but it is fun to dig in those hidden spot because you never know what you will find . . . .
I spent all day yesterday at one of my favorite places, Canton Texas ~ If you read my blog very often, you will see that I go every month because I LOVE to go through treasures !!! It is a giant flea market that has been there since the early 1900's or maybe even earlier ~ there are alot of new things in one huge area and flea market things in another GIGANTIC area ~
These are pictures of of one treasure filled space called The Veranda ~
This is one picture of just some of the pretty things I got that I will be listing on my website starting today ~
