Thrift store beauties!

Every now and again it happens. You go into a store and there they are. 

Lovelies, beauties just waiting to go home with you, just waiting to inspire you and become something different.

I had the pleasure of going to the thrift shop with my friend Teresa today and right at the end I found these! 

They are in pairs, I think they are shoe buckles!

 So holiday, so winter so shiny so vintage so usable! 

I can't wait to show you what I have already done with these.

Here are a few pictures of my every changing workspace. It is sometimes so hard to keep it tidy and although I have so much work space I end up cutting on the floor and working on the big table. Not photos of that as then I will have to admit to chaos! Can I have more buttons and goodies and bits and bobs I think I might use? The thing is sometimes I have to buy more!

Vogue and the "W" has been full of great colour and hat pics this season. I am always amazed by what I actually "get" from all this. The creative proses is really sometimes just waiting for things to come to you .  You just need a lot of patience but I have the kids so I have some of that left!
