Like Mother, like daughter?
These pups are everywhere, following every move that Twinkle and I make! Remember the movie, Gremlins? Now, that these remaining babies are so rambunctious, I feel like I have a house full of Mogwai that are taking over. I'd better not feed them after midnight...
Today,Beth and I went to a great sale. A Friend, who is a magnificent assemblage artist was clearing out before a move.
We loaded up on her fun bits and pieces.
When I got home, I started playing with them all right away. I made a crown from some salvage metal trim (photos later, its not quite done yet), then I organized my purchases. And realized I bought more than I can use...
See what I mean? Cool stuff. But this is only a fraction of the boxes and boxes I snapped up.
So, I started listing small lots for Etsy. Then, I got bored with listing and packaging and describing it all, knowing that Thursday is the most glorious TV night of the week, and I had SHOWS to go watch soon! So I lumped a bunch of vintage delights into one big listing to finish up.
I still have a couple more things to add, but tonight is good TV and tomorrow is a Sugarwings Day, so it won't be till this weekend that I get more up. I have some goodie packs with ephemera included too.
A lot of you have asked about the knobs I showed photos of yesterday. Thanks so much for asking. I will probably list some and take the rest to Miss Frenchies. I'll keep you posted.
And now, it is time for Survivor, I have to run. I'll leave you with more shameless huckstering. Here are photos of the latest goodies listed in my Boutique.
I love all the salvaged finds. Love the pink broach!!!!
That picture of the dogs are so cute. I just love that little puppy.

"No matter how they plead, no matter how they beg...NEVER feed them after midnight..." That photo of Twinks and daughter has to be my favorite ever! On another subject from many posts ago, did you say you watch True Blood on HBO? I just read the first Sookie Stackhouse novel, and LOVED it, can't wait to find #2, and wondered if these are the ones you spoke of when that movie (whose name I can;t recall) came out? Oh! Loved the knobs, too! Your friend, Bobbi

How can I forget the movie Gremlins, I named my dog Gizmo. ;o) I bet you're missing the pups, huh?
I LOVE that hand! I've been wanting a a porcelain hand for years but haven't been able to score one. After seeing your pic, I'm pretty sure I can make on out of paper mache...it'll be a fun project for me & the older grands. Thanks for the inspiration!
