I am very lucky to know people who know and appreciate what I do creatively. This particular evening, I had the good fortune of going to a family friend's house to preview her yard sale stash. However, this is no regular yard sale! You see Gail's goodies are from her many years of owning an antique shop. I found so many wonderful things, but this Mother Goose book nearly made me cry. The illustrations and typography are amazingly inspirational. What you see here is only a tenth of what she let me have... photos, buttons, jewelry, books, ephemera, and more! And she wouldn't take a dime! She was happy to have it all go to a good home where it will be lovingly used to create something new. I am truly blessed. Thanks Gail!P.S. Any of you locals out there, sale is Friday and Saturday... 14 Surf Ave, Ocean Grove, NJ 07756!
Hi Michelle, I'm so jealous of this wonderful loot! Good for you, and I hope it all adds lots of inspiration to your work. I love your cupcakes and your fun, quirky interests. It was great to meet you at a&s. I'm working on some collage boxes and altered journals-craft show in Providence RI soon. Hope all is well.
