More Thrift Store Finds and an upcoming class (I'm taking)

I'm sure my blog is feeling neglected.  This is the first time I've turned on my computer all weekend!  I went to the thrift store yesterday and have some new finds to share.  I have really enjoyed going and can't wait for garage sales to start!

I just love these little hankies.  I'm not sure what I'll do with them - any ideas?

I'm signed up for the e-course The Art of Wild Abandoment Workshop that is co-taught by Junelle Jacobson from Yes and Amen and Christy Tomlinson.  Her website is here.

When I saw this journal I knew I'd use it for this class.  The pages are perfect and waiting for creativity.  

I'll use the jouranl for the class.

The box, well, I have plans for it too.  I saw Neil altering a box and decided that I'd give it a try.  Check out Neil's project here.   I've seen the wooden boxes for sale at Hobby Lobby and thought I'd try it one day, but when I saw this gem at the thrift store (for $1) I decided to buy it. 

I also found this cute little cup.  I was drawn to the colors.  Of course, if you saw my house you'd wonder what colors I WASN'T drawn to!!!

I hope you have a great day.  Wherever you are and whatever you do, don't forget to take time to breathe!

Time flys when you're crafting!

It's Wednesday so that means only one thing.  
It's What's On You Workdesk Wednesday.
Visit Julia over at Stamping Ground

You'll see things that will amaze, inspire and fill you with envy!

My workdesk is a bit empty today.  Tomorrow is the first night that a newly formed photography group meets.  I  chose 5 photos that represent what I like to photograph. 

Woodpecker, lion, cow, flower, abstract architecture, light hitting table

A secret knitting project

Thanks for stopping by.  No matter where you are, what you do, make time for those things (and people) that you enjoy!

Don't You Love Textiles?

Here are some more photos from Santa Fe.  I just loved all the mexican tile work on some tables and chairs so I just started snapping away.  

There's an old theatre in Santa Fe called The Lensic.  This is the top of the building.  I just loved the dragon motif.  This is the year of the Dragon.

This cafe was closed so I peeked into the window and this is what I saw.  I just love the white, red and black.  I bet that lamp looks so cool when it's on.

Thanks for visiting my little blog!  I'm having so much fun with this.
