Have You Heard of the Junk Hippy Roadshow?

Have you heard of or been to the Junk Hippy Roadshow?
It's a show full of booths featuring vintage items, antiques, and lovely junk.
There are booths with shabby chic furniture, cute clothes, and unique jewelry.
It's right up my alley.
 

I believe they have shows in Texas and Oklahoma.

Fortunately, the town I live in is one of their stops

and I got to go to the show this past Saturday.

It was amazing.

There was so much to see.

I felt most of the prices were fair.

I just loved walking around and looking not just at what was being sold,
but also how the items were displayed.

It was only $5 to get in.

 

If you get a chance to go to one of these shows, do it.

You won't be disappointed.

I'm not affiliated with this organization, I just think it's awesome.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, 

And I will declare Your greatness. 

Psalm 145:6

Vinyl Record Projects

In all my secondhand shopping, I've noticed that one thing I can almost always find is
 vinyl records.

You may be thinking, "Big deal. Nobody uses those anymore."

Well, let me show you what can be done with them. . .

I've turned some into a wreath. 

I've made some into bowls.

I've even cut them down and turned them into notebooks.

One of my favorite projects using vinyl records is this chandelier.
I made it using some ribbon, an old wheel and eight small records.

The easiest project that I've made with them is this plate stand.

You can go here and see how a friend and I used vinyl records
 to decorate a music themed graduation party (which includes the above chandelier).

So, how about it?
Think you'll pick up a few records next time you stumble across them?

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, 
slow to anger and great in mercy.

Thrifty Thursday #175

There were slim pickings at the thrift stores this week!
I left with only spending $1.24.
Books were on sale for a dime apiece, so I picked up. . .

this algebra textbook from 1968,
 

this physics textbook from 1966,

and this Fundamentals of Electricity and Magnetism book which was printed in 1969.

I'm thinking these three books will become junk journals
like this and this only they'll have a school theme.
What do you think about that?

I also got three stuffed animals (for my mom's dogs) and
two never-been-opened office supplies (Post It notes and reinforcement labels).

Best wishes for your junking this weekend.

Thanks so much for stopping by and God bless.

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised

Lovelies That I Love

Take a break from the heat and check out this cute summer stuff I found on Etsy. . .

How beautiful is this wreath?

I just love sunflowers.
The sticks add so much to this wreath.

I love this summer poppy scarf.
As long as you're going to be indoors, it's not too hot for a cute scarf. . . 

This summer paper bunting is made from pages out of a vintage floral book.

Beautiful.

I love subway art. Check out this colorful summer sign.

I love, love, love these summer buttons from aflairforbuttons.

You could incorporate these into a summer album or other paper craft.

They'd look great in a shadow box too!

You've gotta admit, this stuff is hard to resist!
I'm not affiliated with any of these companies, I just like their stuff.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, 

for in You do I trust, 

cause me to know the way in which I should walk, 

for I lift up my soul to You.

Lace Table Runner

I am fortunate to have quite a collection of ribbons and lace.

Several years ago, I was given a huge supply of it.

I've been wanting to get into my drawer of lace and do something with it.

 I ended up with a lace table runner.

I started with several types of lace- some wide, some narrow- and started sewing them 

to one another. 

I added a short strip of lace at each end to finish it off.

It turned out very elegant.

I love the looks of all the different styles.

Originally I intended for it to be a scarf, but I felt it made a better table runner.

Especially after my hubby saw me wearing it and said, "It looks like you're getting ready to give Communion in the Catholic church." :)

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Blessed be the Lord my Rock
