More purchases from Renningers!

Hello, friends! How has your week been so far? I am finally going through my other purchases from my trip to Renningers last weekend. If you missed my last post about the awesome shabby white window frame I brought home, go here.  I love this pile of ephemera too. The envelopes were mostly addressed to a Mrs. Ann Offerman c/o Mercy  Hospital in Pittsburgh. Many say "Maternity Ward."  Isn't that sweet?!

I found some great tins, buttons, rhinestone pieces, lace and trim to play with in the studio. The pictures speak for themselves.  I also found some great vintage hardware for my assemblage projects. Take a peek.

I have some projects in the works that required "wings."  These pieces are ideal. Thank you so much for stopping by. I appreciate your follows and enjoy reading your comments so much. I'm still working on something special for my next giveaway. Stay tuned!  By the way, did you see my new button at the top left? Please feel free to grab it for your site.  I've also created a Rusty Rooster Shop blog with the help of Karen Valentine. No merchandise yet, but one step closer.  So many wonderful things going on here.  Thank you all so much for your support and friendship.  Linking up to these parties -

A sweet find from Renningers

I big puffy heart this little find. Thank you Kelley and Cathleen for letting me be the one to take her home. I've been filling her with some old envelopes and Easter postcards.

The little hearts that Kara and I made were too cute to put away after Valentines Day. They look just perfect hanging here in their shabby frame.

I don't use much white in our house, but this little shabby window frame called to me. My friend Jodi has one hanging in her kitchen that I love and posted about here.. This little gem seems to work very nicely in the hallway to my kitchen.

I'm in love! It really is a fun piece to hang little treasures. The possibilities are endless. Do you like her?  I added the "M" on top which I found at HL on clearance. I can't decide if I should leave it gold or paint it. What do you think? There is some dark wood furniture nearby. Perhaps a stain? Maybe a rusty finish? That's starting to sound a bit more like me.  Linking this to -

Renningers junking pictures

I spent a sunny and 80 degree day at Renningers Antique Mall in Mt. Dora, Florida yesterday. My friends Kelly and Cathleen came along. We had a really good time.  It was one of those trips where no one needed any big ticket items. We were simply looking for supplies and enjoyed the hunt.

This particular vendor did not disappoint. I really stocked up on small items that I use in my artwork. I love a dealer that displays items in small groupings and has their prices marked.

I had the point and shoot with me for this trip. I snapped a few photos of things the girls and I drooled over or dreamed about for the house.

There are always some unique pieces for sale here too.  It is just fun to walk and window shop with your homemade lemonade in hand.

I'll save a few pics for my next post.  I made some fun purchases that I'll be sure to photograph tomorrow. How about you? What did you do this weekend? Please tell me it warmed up for you. I've got some news coming this week! Stay tuned.  Hugs! Joining a new party today. I hope to make some new friends and preview some fun junk! Join us!
