Fun finials! In August I headed to Maine to visit my family, which of course was the perfect opportunity to catch up on my pent-up urge to antique. My friends will often ask me how long it takes to get to Portland from here..... well, first off I like the back roads and then it depends on how long I can dilly dally or of course I am really working! Right??? Shopping for my lampshop can be hard work, unless I hit gold. Old Hawk Eye did pretty good, found great white on white embroideries, lots of lamps with potential, a few dresser scarves, a couple pieces of vintage fabric, a few cool postcards. Acually I did so good on the way over that I had just about spent my wad for the trip home.
I did shop my way home to Vermont, but was in search of cool bits of treasures for making finials. How fun was that!!!! I always love all those vintage iron people and animals. So I found some of those, some vintage push pins, some old costume jewerly that I could rip apart, some little pots of flowers~ all kinds of odds and ends. I must say that came out pretty good. And they were fun to put together. Hope you like them, too.
How about this, I'm on a roll. writing 2 days in a row. The foliage is coming around and tomorrow is my day off!!!! Yay! Maybe I will go looking for more good stuff. xoxo judy
