Antiquing, Thrifting & a Few Laughs
The other day I made the rounds for a fun day. First I went to In Between Stitches to drop off some patterns. Next antiquing in Livermore where I found a few fun vintage ornaments. Aren't they pretty. I love the little Santa with the symbols which so reminds me of my 1950's childhood Christmas.
On my way out of town I saw a Goodwill & another thrift store with a 50% off sale so had to check them out. I found a few treasures on sale. When I saw this mannequin in the store window I flew into the store to see how much it was. It was only $3.00 and in wonderful new condition! I mean can a girl have too many mannequins? Don't answer that.
Then I headed to American Harvest in Pleasanton to see all the holiday glitter. Sharon & Roger were on their way out when I got there but she graciously allowed me to take pictures. Here are some glittery treasures.
Here is one of Connie Govea Stuart's gems. The bottom of this is an actual clam shell with a paper top & fun embellishments. I love it!! Connie has other art there as well. Rather than posting her art twice I will put the rest in her Gallery. See the left hand photo album section.
I'll bet this a Donna crown!
I know THIS is a Donna crown & scepters on the counter as they said she just dropped them off. Rat's, just missed meeting her. I'll bet ...
this is a Donna box as it was right next to the crown.
Lovely Santos

Susan Arnot's Dolls. They are so sweet. I have one of her Halloween china head CUPCAKE dolls. See more in her Etsy shop.
Here is the darling HAT tree!
My next treat was a date with Connie G S for another antiquing adventure. A few more treasures were found.
Also, a few treats from Connie
Since yesterday was my wedding anniversary I thought I'd share the card from my husband. If you are expecting a romantic card that's usually not us. We sometimes do romantic cards but mostly do funny cards. He likes the kind with cartoons & opportunities to write in silly comments.
