What I bought....

I don't show what I buy very often, because I mostly buy components to use in future projects....and they don't make much sense until I get them incorporated into something, but I thought I'd share a glimpse of my little haul this trip, anyway (I really need a bigger vehicle).

These three half-round baskets are my favorite purchase.....I broke my rules on these 'cuz I'm not exactly sure what I will do with them yet! I try to have a definite plan before I buy something, or it will just end up on the already too-tall heap of "what do I do with this?".
I actually didn't buy much this trip, since I have a pretty strict criteria that I at least attempt to adhere to. Cost is the first consideration, and most of this stuff cost very little. I think the shadowbox and everything in it (including the exfoliating doll) was about 12.00.

The pocket watch casings were 5.00 each and the watch faces were 1.00 each.

This etched and decoratively framed old mirror cost about a third of what I can get for it in my market, which is better than I usually get.

I scored lots of great cardboard photos (some 3/1.00 and some 1.00 each) and various iron pieces....more components for projects.


I paid about average dealer price for this green bucket, but I loved it.....and I think it might just have to go on my front porch with a little fir tree in it!

This cool iron base was a few dollars, and I'm going to have trouble letting go of it too, at least for a little while (I usually part with everything eventually).

I'm gathering lamps like crazy because I make my photoholders, etc. out of them and I'm getting very close to finally offering them on-line!



I also bought some tall, narrow, chippy blue vintage doors with glass panels (they are too filthy to photograph), but walked away from tons of stuff I was on the fence about----better to err on the side of restraint in these times, right?

Now, if I could just get all my projects transferred from mind to reality!!
