The Record Goes Round: Part One

So this one is all about musicals I have many of them as I am a collector. I pick them up from thrift stores and garage sales. Some of the art on the sleeves are amazing!

In fact they usually catch my eye like this one I bought the other day. The cover wacked me over the head with the graphics.

The other reason for collecting is if it has a personal connection with me like this one.

My dad found it for me at a self owned thrift store. I have a connection with this particular record because it was one of the musicals I was a part of on high school it holds a big part of my school memories.
Then there’s just collecting for the heck of it. Whatever it is that you want to collect.

A Fish Of A Different Sort

I found this beauty at a thrift store awhile ago it struck me instantly.

Maybe it’s because of the rusty charm or the artsy quality but either way I swooped it up.

I love the fact that this lovely windchime is a rainbow just like a certain trout. Now it hangs right by my window for me to see everyday.

Elkhorn Weekend 2013 Part 1

So this past weekend my parents and I drove to Wisconsin to help my grandparents with the Elkhorn flea market  On the first day was Saturday we set up right around one 1:00 pm., After helping with that I decided to look around for a bit and saw I few things that I loved but couldn’t afford on both days of the flea. Lots of people wouldn’t let me take photos of any of their stuff which is understandable. One of the items I loved was an art deco table shown below:

i loved this table art deco mixed with naked ladies done. But sadly my pockets weren’t big enough.

This beautiful dress-form covered with newsprint fabric caught my eye and then the tag lead them away. All of them that where there where in my opinion, overpriced .

I thought this was so cool! An old fire extinguisher turned into a lamp.it takes a very creative mind to combine these two.
