I finished the next cowgirl tote bag late yesterday. I like this one very much, too! Wish I could remember where I got the images from in order to give credit. I think it was
Jack and Cat Curio, but can't find it on their
Flickr page. Anyway here she is:
I created this one with more of a girlie flair to it. Liked the lace and flowers, but kept the rusty stuff, too.
Here's the collage piece at the bottom of the tote bag. If you click on the pictures you will get an enlargement so you can see more detail. Still haven't decided if I want to sell them or not. Of course, I can't use two of them.
Hit a pretty good estate sale yesterday. Here are a couple of the nice finds for my booth at Merchant Square. I am posting an album on my
Judy B's Shabby Chic page on Facebook shortly. You can see all the finds I have that will be in the booth shortly.
This is such a pretty cocktail dress in burgundy. Lacy top and just below the knee. Size 9/10!! Perfect for the holiday parties ahead!
You're going to think I have hit my head and lost my mind, but I couldn't pass up this rusty, crusty ammo box! The wire baskets were a freebee from my neighbor who was cleaning out. I see so much "industrial" stuff in magazines and blogs these days that I can't pass up a few good ones to incorporate with the girlie stuff in my booth.
And old, broken down books. These two books and old photo album were great finds. I love to stack the books up and put something wonderful on top to make a decorative setting. And, if you are into altered books, what better kind of book than one that is ready to fall apart.
The old photo album on the top has never been used. But it has a "book plate" inside typed by the owner that it was to be the third album of a trip to the Grand Canyon and the Southwest. Wish there were photos in it!
