~Someone's Treasure~

I love thrift stores as much as my mother did.
She couldn't stop by one without 
running in for 5 minutes.
It was that look in her eye and excitement she had.
I now 
know how she felt.
Every time I'm shopping for that one treasure,
 I think of her.
I couldn't resist finding these 
vintage Christmas ornaments.
They just don't make them like they used to.
The colors and designs seem to bring back wonderful memories.
I'm so glad I stopped for
 5 minutes at the thrift store.
I love this one,
 A Shooting Star. 
Sending Happy Christmas Thrift Shopping To Everyone!
Hope you find a treasure too!

~Thanksgiving Name Tag~

I was trying to come up with a 
different name tag today.
I love anything stamped and found the perfect one.
You know me and gardening and thought these little pots would do the trick.
Found some little acorns and glittered the tops.
I wanted the different colors
 of the bottoms to show. I love the natural look.

I used my tags I had and found an acorn stamp and glittered them.
I stamped the clothespins with my script and added jute and a rose.
The perfect look I wanted for the name tag.
Simple and Easy!
It fits right in with the Thanksgiving Theme.
