Etsy Handmade Dayton Show "BLOOM"

What a busy Saturday we all had.
Our local Dayton Etsy artist had a
spring show called
BLOOM.
It was supposed to be an outdoor garden event but cold temps and rain forced us to switch gears and move inside.
over 20 ladies had their handmade items displayed all over, event creator Julie C's (Steph's Jewels)house.
Sorry the photos do not do every ones items justice but please visit the ladies shops via their links!
We have such wonderful talent here in
Dayton, Ohio!

And my items I have been working on for the past month.  They will be added to my shop soon.

Thanks for visiting and hope you will do some shopping soon!

1st Estate Sale of the Year!

Look at what I got today!
I can not tell you how bad I have been needing to go to a sale. Watching American Pickers each week, reading all the bloggers who live in warm climates who have sales year around. It has been killing me.

Well all I can say is I hit the jack pot today.
I can't wait to make something from all these finds.
What do you think of the dresser? The details are very art decoish.
The color is almost perfect as is but I think it needs sprucing up. I was thinking of a color instead of the white look but since I will probably sell it I don't know what color to go with.
If I keep it it will need to be a bit more white than yellow.
What color would you go with?
Robins egg blue
Aqua
Rusty pink
Green?
Look at these handles.
LOVE THEM!
The beautiful patina.
Drool

They alone are worth what I paid for the chest.
I won't tell you how much I paid because you will have a heart attack.
Go ahead and guess if you would like and tell me what you would pay for it cleaned up.

I got more bottles to alter. I just added some to my Etsy shop.
More books to use. I love books so much I hate tearing them up. But I'm getting over it when I see what I make with them.
Awesome sheet music that is already distressed to unbelievable coolness!
Do you see the edges?
I almost died right there in their driveway.
See those 2 knobs. They were marked $3.00. Nope, not paying that.
Asked what she could do.


She put all this, the bird print, tintype frame and both knobs together for

$1.00
yup a
$1.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These will be added to something soon.
I thought this silver bracelet was very interesting.


I really likes these small beads with the silver spacers. I don't like the larger sized beads at the base of the necklace so I think I'm going to remake it into a bracelet for myself.

I didn't take close ups of the cutter quilt or the dust ruffle but they are really nice. Already washed them and am ready to start sewing something with them.

So, I think I did real good for the first sale of the year. I got my fix and now I'm ready to get busy making stuff.

Do you want to know how much I spent total?

It's going to help you with your guesses on the dresser but lets just say I had enough left from $30.00 to get a mocha!

I Hit The Mother Load!

Warning!!! Lots of images of vintage linens, jewelry and odds and ends for crafting.
Do not look if you are prone to jealousy,
hate vintage stuff,
or
can't stand to know that these items will be repurposed.
Otherwise ENJOY!
Aren't these quilts beautiful? I may keep the pink one intact in my living room for awhile.
Look at this edging! It gives me goose bumps!
I can not wait to start something with this great quilt.








This stash is going to be fun to work with.

I always drool over the booths with gobs of vintage lace.
Now I have my very own stash!
Found two vendors that I could wheel and deal with for most of all the lace and linens!






LOVE!




Jewelry to repurpose.
I have lots more too. I was just so tired and hungry I wanted to get these shots done before dark so I could share with you today. I missed a bag.




LOVE~LOVE~LOVE






Can you just see the projects going around in my head? I think it's going to explode!



Now for a few items to fix up for Christmas.



Aren't these ornaments great! I may just sell them on my Etsy store.

Check out this group of very cool paper items!
Dracula! very Art Deco cover
See this ledger? It is from 1884!
A list of people who owed and paid him and different towns in Ohio listed.
The hand writing is very cool.
And this little treasure is an autograph book from 1881!
It is full of wonderful sayings. I will be scanning and using these in so many ways.
This has got to be one of my favorite purchases!
My heart is racing just typing this looking at the book.
You will see some of these individual pages in the future, Oh My, the gorgeous hand writing.
Well I hope this wasn't to much eye candy at one time but I had to share what I got with you right away.
Have a great week!
If the comment box is way at the bottom again, and you know how I can fix this let me know. It happens everytime I upload lots of images.
