Loot in my mailbox

Would you like to come along as I open this wonderful box of loot from the very talented Pam at Fairy Rocks and Things?  Pam has the most beautiful studio (see link on her right side bar) where she collects all kinds of wonderful junk and paper, just like me.  She recently shared a special treat with one of her readers, and I won!
I love that old Montgomery Ward's tag.  See the tea stained bag that the rusty botttle caps came in? Well, read this little note from Pam.
How fun! The bags she sent are real vintage geologists bags that her father used as he gathered samples in the Rocky Mountains on horseback. 


I'm crazy for that large locket and this old ice cream wrapper.  Aren't they so cool?!  Here's a great shot of all the loot I received. I"m overwhelmed by all my new treasures. Thank you, Pam!
I hope you had a great weekend. I'll be back soon! Have a great week. xoxo

    Congratulations Vicki! What a wonderful win for you - and somehow, I just know you are going to put all the bits and pieces to a very good use! Love the sample bag! How fun is that?! And Montgomery Ward - wow - the memories....It was the first (hmmmm only?) class action lawsuit I was involved in back in the early days of my legal career..... Have fun playing!

    Nice box of goodies! I look forward to seeing some projects using them. My mental image of the geologist on horseback going after his Rocky Mountain treasure is just too romantic!!!

    Please check out my latest blog post featuring a book I may be interested in giving away at some point. http://mariedeemuses.blogspot.com/2011/12/illustrator-william-meade-prince.html
