CHA stalker and some Goodwill finds

I love waiting for all of the sneak peaks to come out on the internet.  It is so inspiring and all I want to do is scrap and stalk the net for every little peek at what is coming out.

I am in South Carolina right now and I had to drop some things off at the Goodwill for my mom, and being the junkie that I am I couldn't resist going in.  I found a box of these old label holders that are supposed to be markers for binders but I can thing of a dozen ways to use them. I got a grab bag of buckles, zippers and trims for 3 dollars and an old leather bridge book for 50 cents.

I wish I was in my studio so I could create something right now.  I will post a pic later of my finds.

South Carolina Saturday Flea Market

Got up and went to the Flea Market in Myrtle Beach with my sister.  Man was it hot, but I found some great steals. A roll of vintage lace, for 3 dollars, I don't know how many yards but plenty to glimmer mist, hand dye or just use as is. I purchased 3 charms for 25 cents and  2 vintage postal label booklets for a dollar. Love the look for travel albums or collage work.

Again, I will have to post pics later because of me not having what I need to upload right now.

Thieves Market, Florence South Carolina

If you are ever in Florence you have to go to the Thieves market on SR 561.  It was incredible! It is a co-op so they have so many booths with such great finds.  I got a Holiday magazine from 1948, all about the west coast of Florida, a chocolate milk milkcap, a fleur de lis tin roof tile in the most lucious color of sea green and patina. Can not wait to be able to post pictures.
