SHaBBy SHoPPing WEEKEND...

Sometimes I just LoVe being on the "other side of the fence"...  
ShoPPing For SHaBBies ~ Instead of Selling Them!*!*!
 ~ It gives me the "balance" I need...  I had sooooo much fun  shopping a BARN SALE on Thursday and Grayslake Market on Saturday...   You just *Never Know* what you're going to find!*!*!

 Just a tiny... tiny... *Hint*

 of a few items I found...

I made quite a haul at BOTH SaLes ~ Especially

 Grayslake on a Rainy Saturday Afternoon!*!*!

 This time-worn ViNtaGe Trumpet 

has The BeSt PaTiNa!*!*!

 I "married" these 2 pieces of jewelry together...

~Soon to adorn a HoLiDay Item...

Soooo Jeanne d' Arc Inspired...

*Wonderfully tattered stack of Old Sheet Music*

*PeRfeCtLy ChiPPy* 

Oval Gilt Gold Gesso Picture Frame...

*~*~ I'm hoping to get my Entry Halloween Display

 Up in the next day or so...

 YES - I'm way behind here at home!!!
