playing in the dark...again...

rainy days happen...
and we had been so good...
my son, Craig, and I took a day off...
all we did was eat, nap and rearrange things...
it was a gloomy day...
but we had fun inside...
so here are some of my favorite things...
collected over the years...
from friends and favorite places...
some no longer here...
but the memories are forever...
my star juice glass...from the antique mall I worked in...
recycled bling...
always passing through time...one hand to another...each time adding new memories...
enjoy your night...the thunder is closing in...

vintage circus...

my friend, Rebecca, has a new obsession...
it's all she can talk about...
so this morning I started searching...
and these are the images that I found...
her dream is to build a gypsy wagon...
she has items stashed to decorate it when she gets it done...
but she wants it to be able to pull...
down the highway...
so she can camp in it...
she has furniture with carved faces...
I think she likes the circus because of the gypsy feel to it...
and her new pink and white striped tent...
she is going to use her easy up at her barn show this weekend...
three of her barns are on a barn tour...
and she's going to be open...
she's the best, best friend...
and I never know what we are going to be getting into next...
oh, and she's a pink girl...no red, blue, bright colors..
she loves the European pastel colors of the circus...
yep...she's picky....
she knows what she wants...

a glimpse of things to come...

what do you do on a rainy day?...
clean...
nap..
tweak...
check back later for nighttime photos...

in the mail today...

I ordered this from someone on etsy who visited my blog last week...
I followed her link back...
and this is just some of what I found...
I hadn't bought off of etsy before or this dealer...
so I ordered a small sampling of what she offered...
and I am so impressed...
check out this cool mini trim...love it...
here's where you can go to find your treasures...
and then on eBay...I ordered my mini black and tan homespun...
I use it for bows mainly...black and tan go with everything...
I have a couple projects to do first...
but then storms are supposed to move in and then I should have time to play...

more from yesterday...

they have the new editor running again but they don't have the new features...
must be back to the drawing board...
so this is a test post to make sure it works...
it's left over photos from yesterday...
