caps

Hello friends!

This is an absolutely wonderful day here in Georgia. I am able to have my windows open.  Amazing from someone who is from the cold north. I am slowly getting used to being south.

I want to share with you guys some of my "finds".  we were out driving and came to this old antique shop.  If you wanted records , he had them by the hundreds. He told me he did the storage unit auctions. I think that would be cool.  I found this neat cap for a ceiling fan.   This is going up on my wall as a decoration. I dont plan to do anything to it.  For 2 bucks i have wall art!!

These are bottle caps ( or crowns as they were called in the 40's) for home brewed beer.  these could be magnets, or used in jewelry of some kind. I am not sure yet,but they were fun,so i went ahead and bought them.
Have a wonderful day .

Blessings, Karen

it is a crafty kind of day

Hello this sunny sunday morning. i have been away from the blog for a while. I have no excuse really. I dont work, so i should have time.  I did join curves last week, and have been going there every day .  I have to get back in shape. I know i will feel better when i lose a few pounds.  I wont say how many i need to loose. 

A few weeks ago i decorated a wooden initial for my granddaughter, Maddie.  I think it turned out nicely. Now my daughter wants all three girls names done. i have been waiting for hobby lobby or michaels to have the letters on sale.  no luck yet.

I wanted to share with you all ( that would be Judy) my newest purchase.  i found these cards, at a local antique mall. they have cards for a to z ---- and a few for different sounds.  who knows what i will do with them, but i had to get them.  You always regret what you dont buy.  that is my story and i am sticking to it.  Hope you all have a good day.

Blessings, Karen

Good sunny afternoon.  I have been away from the computer for a few weeks. The mr. and i went back up to Ohio to get his motorcycle. Poor guy, he drove it from Ohio to Georgia. and let'say that the weather was not good. he drove a good part of the way in temps in the 30's.  Now the bike is getting some tune up work done. then we hope to be able to ride more. 
I spent some extra time back in Ohio with my family. My sisters and mom went to the cincinnati art museum to see the art deco exhibit. they had clothes and jewelry.  What a wonderful period that is, one of my favs.  I even had  time to go and see my art teacher for a kick in the but.  she inspires me to do more than i ever thought i could.  Now my creative juices are flowing!!!!
Got to run now,hopefully the next time i hope to have more pictures.
