Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!
I visited my sister and her family in Tampa, Florida over the Holidays. While there, I had to squeeze in an antiques and collectible show, the Tampa Antique Fair
that looked too good to pass up. Luckily, we got there as they were opening the gates on Saturday morning and were able to try and quickly browse through everything without getting too bogged down.
"Harry Rinker" from Collector Inspector on HGTV was going to be there at noon doing appraisals, but we had to be out of there and on the road by then, and I never did get a chance to meet him.
I found lots of antique buttons for my bracelets, some sweet little girl hand embroidered gloves, little dolls, lockets and a bunch of vintage postcards. I have tons of stuff to work with now, between the few shows I have been to this Fall, now I need to get busy creating.
I do have a few things still available on my website for sale, some bracelets, assemblages and dolls if anyone needs to find a unique Christmas present.

Hello- I have been working on a new assemblage piece today. I am in the process of putting it all together, step by step. I think I have most of the designing taken care of. The piece is centered around 3 vintage cabinet cards with photos of sweet girls. It has a 3 dimensional shadow box concept with glass in the front. Each box has a nest with an alabaster egg in it sitting in front of the girls. I attached the following quote by Langston Hughes to the piece...
"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly"
Isn' t that wonderful? I love the images it brings to mind, all wrapped up in a life lesson.
Hope you like this piece, the pics are just bits and parts of it. I will probably put it on my website when I have it completed.
