Huff & Puff

 
I am really working hard, huffing and puffing, to eek a little something out of the studio.  I fear my total lack of inspiration will linger.  At least until the newest G45 collections arrive later this month.  I just want to get my hands on Steampunk Spells and Bohemian Bazaar.  In the meantime, it is weed season here with some glorious sunny days to beckon me outdoors.  

 
I'm just back from 5 days of fun in Salem, OR.  My friend and I have developed a bit of a routine during my visits.  One of our destinations is an antique row in Silverton.  I always find some great stuff there; like this lovely old lace dresser scarf with inset petit point.  We also drove a bet further to Aurora, OR and lucked upon 2 terrific antique stores, back to back.  I found this hat loaded with millinery flowers.  And, YES, I will be cutting up both of these beauties to use in my crafting. We also each bought a $12 grab bag full of jewelry bits.  It was worth the $12 in entertainment value alone as we sorted through the goodies.   So, that's all I've got for now.

Enjoy your purchases.
As for inspiration and working..it will come. Maybe you needed some time off!

Be well dear friend

Love your dinner receipt folder!
That hat is gorgeous, so many lovely yellow flowers to poach off of it.
