So far 2008 has been a very snowy start to the new year, We had a few inches of snow and it is now 4 above zero. I love the snow but I don't like it this cold! Yesterday I didn't do the "Removal of the Christmas" I decided I can do that any ol' time, not too often do I get an extra day with my antique store closed. (since I live behind my store it always feels like I have company even if I am not working) So I took advantage of the quiet time, I got a nap by the fireplace, I read a few magazines, (actually looked at the photos, lol) and I spent
some time in my craft room making a few things. Some got finished and others are just started. It was a nice cozy day! To me that is what January is all about here in the Midwest, staying cozy. Think I will make some potato cheese soup, sounds good on a day like today.I have posted photos of some of my projects, finished and unfinished. Also a photo of the lamp shade I made for part of m
y sisters Christmas.Last Friday I got out to an antique/junk store and here is the little bit that I found there, can you see a theme going here? Not sure what I am going to do with the metal ice cream spoons but I couldn't pass up 35 of them for $6 and my rose hat box was only $3. I got all of this for less than $20, I thi
nk I got a steal!Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

Girl...you did good for $20.00. Love the paint by number and the rose box and I had forgotten about the tin ice cream spoons. I know some one will do something clever with them. Once I had a whole bunch of the shoe trees in different colors. I thought they looked great in a white iron stone pitcher. Customer bought all the trees and the pitcher. I bet we would have a ball together "junkin".
Hey! I have that hat box too. And I loooove your tin! Blessings.. Polly
Hi Michelle,
Your day sounds heavenly. I love snow/cold, if I am able to make soup and really enjoy some great magazines! I envy you today!

Michelle....the lampshade for your sister is gorgeous and those are darling tags you created.
Very pretty hat box, but I especially like the pink rose tin it is very sweet. I can't imagine what 4 above feels like, take care and stay warm and cozy. Linda

Hi Michele This is my first visit. I love the goodies you got at the flea market. It must be interesting owning an antique store. I wonder if it's hard to decide what to sell and what to keep. Rhondi
Love your finds! I imagine you can come up with something fun to do with all of those spoons too.
Jealous of all your fun treasure! :)
Oh, yes, Michelle...you got some fabulous buys. Good for you! I do like the tags, too.
Stay warm!

Sounds like a cozy day but 4 above zero...I don't think my fingers would bend for any projects! I'd have to sit IN the pot of soup to stay warm! Glad you got some time to relax a bit.

Michelle, what a stash of gorgeous stuff. Don't you absolutely just love it when you come home with bags and bags for under $20.
I did the same thing this week. Although my goodies weren't as pretty as yours. I will need to frill them up soon. Just loved this post!
Your angel is absolutely Wonderful!
