Finding Some Findings

You know that feeling of stumbling upon someone else's junk, and thinking that you've found the equivalent of the recipe to Godiva Chocolate. Your spine tingles, your heart rate quickens, your breath shortens and all you can think is, "I didn't look through that box yet"! Meanwhile, everyone else thinks that you're crazy to dig through boxes and boxes of...well... old junk.

That's what I did at the local bead show. It was too much fun to find each of these treasures buried under garish costume jewelry! My head is spinning with the possibilites they offer in miniature!

A portion of my new treasures.

  16. Great finds indeed. I too love the little basket. But no, please don't put a penny next to anything - if we're from another country it doesn't mean anything! A ruler with both cms and inches is the same for every country.
