Price-y Project ..

Rod found these old metal price tabs that were originally part of an antique cash register .. We knew we wanted to do something fun and easy with them, they were just too cool.

We settled on having him make bases for them to rest in, made from an old painted 2 x 4. He plans to clear coat the bases.

Didn't they turn out cool? They would look cute scattered throughout a bookshelf .. Or buy the one that best suits your situation .. know someone who is always giving their .02 ?

I decided to price them individually so everyone can pick their favorite ..

They will be at Canton this week.. come see us ..

March 31st thru April 3rd ..

Arbor 2, spaces 217 & 218

.10 a dance?



.01 for your thoughts? odder than a $3 bill?

NO SALE ..



Have a great Sunday .. love ya'

Leah Grace update and New Stuff for Canton ..

I got an update on Leah Grace.. the benefit sale was a success .. they raised almost $9000 and were thrilled with the turn-out. They used my title ' A Cup of Tea With Leah Grace ' as their slogan .. which I thought was awesome .. so happy to have helped this little precious angel in whatever way I could. If you helped and kept her in your prayers, thank you.

Also, here are some things we have been working on for Canton ..

an old needlepoint i stitched / patched to the front of a piece of vintage mattress ticking i had and backed it with a piece of vintage chenille ..

sometime ago we purchased these glass cloches or bells .. i epoxied various seashells on the tops to act as knobs for lifting .. i have a stack of vintage salad plates that work great as underplates for them .. i like these a lot ..

this is one of my favorite ones .. love the seashell on this one .. i have a limited supply of these .. only about 18 .. i priced them out at $9.95 to $11.95 depending on the seashell used and then the plates i priced at $4 - $5 ..

this is a swatch of wallpaper .. the colors are more vivid than the pic shows .. esp the pinks and blues .. i have a nice size roll of this vintage paper .. wait until you see the what i did with some of it ..

judy hill seems to have made old paint brushes popular .. who would have thought .. but here at the junk exchange, we hope to supply you with all your decorating needs .. so, if you want old paint brushes .. here they are ..

if you aren't able to make it to Warrenton / RoundTop .. i hope you can make it to Canton .. come see us in Arbor 2, spaces 217 & 218...

well, off to do more sewing, painting and creating ..

love you,
Troy
