Vacation...

Hello everyone!  So, I must admit that I did not plan as well for this vacation as I did the last...no pre-written posts (which is fine since I didn't set up the last one correctly and it failed to post on time!), but I just wanted to say hello and let you all know I will be back to posting next Monday.  Can't wait to show you all what I've been up to!

More Eye Candy

Pre-script....So, apparently I need to work on figuring out the "schedule post" option for Blogger, seeing as I wrote this post before heading on vacation last week and it was supposed to post this past Monday, but since it didn't, you get it today...even though it is now showing up with the date it was scheduled for but it has really been posted on 8/8/2011...hmmmmmm....  Sorry about that!!!  Enjoy~


As most of you know from my post a few weeks ago, the July Brimfield was awesome.  Since I am currently enjoying the sun and sand in Florida, I thought I would leave you all with some more pretty pictures to inspire you.

Hope you are all having a great summer!

More Sandwich Sets...

A friend of mine moved to Ohio the other week, so I was in a tizzy trying to finish three lunch sets she had ordered for family for Christmas.  It was fun to pick out fabric to match the different personality of each individual receiving one.  Everything from girly-girl pink, to toned down autumnal orange.  I think they turned out pretty well....

 

This time, instead of wrapping them up in brown paper, I wrapped them in their napkins.  Since my friend who ordered them had not seen the fabrics yet, I thought it would be silly to wrap them when she would have to unwrap and re-wrap them all over again!  I think I liked this better...

I attached some of my new business cards to the front along with a care instruction card.  I hope they like them!  

What do you prefer....the self-wrapping in the napkin, or the brown craft paper?

Another Brimfield Adventure

This weekend we took another adventure to the Brimfield Antiques Show.  Usually I go with a list, because let's face it, there is just too much to see if you do not have a plan!  But, this time I had only one thing on my list...and I got it, from the exact seller that I wanted to visit to get it from :-)

 

A mid-century Ice-O-Mat ice crusher.  I cannot wait to make a nice cool summer drink with some crushed ice.


I also picked up some Bakelight dice and made these...

Two necklaces!

The day was a fantastic hit and we had a fun time, even though it was hot, it was very worth it!

And after hours of wandering around looking at things like this...

We took a rejuvenating rest and looked at this...

It was quite helpful!


What would be on your list at a giant antiques market?
