Have you checked out my new etsy shop yet?

If not check it out. It is called cheap old crap. I am listing some of my real good finds as ephemera packs on there. This is some of the stuff I have been hoarding for years. Go look now if you like great old stuff...thank you.

Oh yeah don't forget about the contest...you can win over $40 worth of goodies!!! Ends on the 25th so enter today if you haven't already!

So I did it.

I opened a supply shop and hope to stock it full this afternoon with old postcards, game pieces, flash cards, books, vintage fabric and lots of other fun stuff you can use to make stuff.

Check it out...Cheap Old Crap. (meant to be funny so I hope you don't take it any other way)

Hats hats hats

Once I get started making hats I can't stop. I have quite the surplus of them right now and decided to use the backdrop of freshly fallen snow to take some shots of my creepy head wearing a few of them to list in the etsy shop. January is pretty slow in the brick and mortar so etsy can get a lot more attention.

Today I am going to list more of my ephemera packs. I've been digging in the studio finding all kinds of stuff I didn't even remember I had.

I've had a bad week. I had a flat tire, ran into my friends Jim Dolans shed (and destroyed it), broke the cupboard door, and gave up caffeine. Here's to Friday!

JACKPOT!!!!!

So I am doing a custom journal for someone right now that is for her father who came to the US from Italy many years ago. I needed a few more images and came across an old geography book I bought from Vinnie's in the summer. I opened it and to my surprise there were about a dozen old report cards for little George Drerer circa 1911-1916! Love that kind of stuff. Now what to do with them. Hoard them is the most likely outcome for these little ephemera gems.

My fuzzy baby.

So here's my favorite fuzzy girl. I still don't have a camera so pictures of my peeps will have to do.

I got a few great jars of vintage buttons today. I love love love going through those old jars and there were a couple of real beauties. I also got a great old metal top table for only $5! It is already feeling right at home in the store. I like those great cheap finds!

I just ordered clear bags so I can start listing ephemera packs on etsy soon. I have so very much stuff and I really need to share it with everyone...so watch my etsy store for good things to come!
