State Fair

Hey, how was your weekend? If you stopped by on Saturday you might have noticed that I was planning a day of treasure hunting. It was a lot of fun! Found some new places, went to a couple thrift shops and scored some cool things in which I'll show you after my scrapbook page share.

These photos are from the N.C. State Fair that hubby and I went to last month. I used a new digital kit 'Be Happy'by Hazel Olive Designs. These vintage animal cards are perfect for my theme!

I just got this twine/jute from Papertrey Ink. It's fabulous! It's just the right thickness. I've had some in the past that's just to thick and hard to work with!

I added a few die cuts and stitching to the page. I like the country feel and the way it turned out. A pretty simple one that I enjoyed creating....just love paper crafts! :)

Okay, if you like thrift shopping and collecting vintage items and antiques, keep reading. If that's not your cup of tea, go ahead and continue on to the next blog. ;)

Have you been to your local thrift shop recently? It's amazing what you can find! These places are always hit or miss and worth some chuckles! Audrey and I had a great time visiting two Goodwill locations and scored some awesome things like this apple jar for $4.99. It looks rather tiny in this photo but it's actually about 7-8 inches tall. It's a great piece to display during autumn when apples are plentiful!

I found a set of these snowflake cookie/snack trays with cups. Each tray was $1.49 and each cup was .29! Pretty cool find! I will have to serve some tea and cookies with this set next month!

Now this was my best score! It's a Lenox salt and pepper set with leaf dish...so pretty and detailed. It's brand new, was in the box unopened with a Macy's bar code on the bottom. Just $2.99! Sweet! I adore the detail and happy glow on Santa's face!

Well, I found a few other goodies at the antique stores we visited, but I'll share those items another day so I don't keep you too long or bore you to tears with dozens of photos! ;) I'm so happy you dropped by! I hope you too had a great weekend. I'll try and do some blog hopping so I can see what all you have been up to and see if you have some crafty shares to inspire my crafting for today! Until tomorrow, have yourself a great Monday! :)
