I'm having fun today playing with a site called Polyvore. I hope that you enjoy my whimsical piece of artwork. Have a great day.

Thrifting is Fun, and Smart

I have enjoyed perusing thrift stores wherever I am, and being a military wife, I've been able to check out quite a few. Part of the fun for me is finding a treasure - something special for my family or an object that has special significance in its uniqueness or charm. I proudly display several pieces of artwork that I have found thrifting. Thrift shops can be a great place to find frames. I will tape out the frame edge, gesso the painting surface, and voila! - a great new surface to play with.
Lately I have enjoyed following The Thrifty Chicks blog. It's such fun to see their finds and follow suggestions for reusing thrift shop treasures. If you are also a thrifting fan, go here to read about their idea for a USA Nation Thrift Store Month. Check out some of the other Month celebrations. Very interesting stuff.

Hope

Spring blossoms soon to come

Sweet fragrance in the air
