Flea Market Finds!

The weather was gorgeous for the Hartville Flea Market in Hartville, Ohio and Tracey and I had a great time! You may know Tracey from Glitterbug Studios....she's a very talented altered artist with a wicked sense of humor......of course to travel through a flea market with me, you've got to have a sense of humor!

So these are my finds...... I like to look for old photographs. I found these class pictures from the 1930s for a dollar each. The first one is a group of 4th graders. Please feel free to use them in your artwork. This one is a group of 7th graders. Check out the boy in the very back row on the left....he looks like he's wearing a fur sweater! I love the teacher in the middle with her bow tie.

I had to get this little girl b/c of her ticked off look!


Ok, how stinkin' cute is Tracey's mini weiner dog? I LOVE her! Her name is Ruby and she's as such a wonderful personality. I really wanted to stick her in my purse and sneak home with her but I'm sure Tracey would have tracked me down and beat me senseless with either a large jar of gel medium or her computer cord! Check out that the stupid look I get on my face when I'm around dogs! Duh............

Sista giving sista a Photoshop lesson! I think Tracey has created a monster! I'm png-ing up the PSE!



"Hmmmm, what could one collage on this old shoe form?", she asked with a raised eyebrow.
Tracey got the buy of the day with this huge Halloween bottle brush tree for $2!!!! She has a forest of trees in studio. It was hilarious, her son Jake said "another tree!?!?!?!" when she got home with it.

Ok, this was the strangest thing I saw at the flea market........
It was like a purse sling with 4 holes for the dog's legs to stick through and both ends were open for the butt and the head. I have to wonder how comfortable it is for the dog?


Let me introduce you to Lori (that's her in the maroon shirt). She was set up at the Flea Market and has beautiful altered pieces for you home decor. She has just started a blog called "As I See It" so be sure to pop in and check her out as she will be posting soon.


Lastly, I think it's important to have goals in life, even if they are terribly mundane such as the one I set for this cherry tomato plant..........my goal was to get it to grow taller than me. I'm 5'8" so you can see that the plant made it to over 6 feet tall. I watered it every morning and every afternoon!

Alrighty then, Gary and I are off to get ice cream! Hope you all are having a great weekend!
