What did I pick from that fabulous sale??????

Here is the answer to the question from my last post~

I bought all those wooden boxes from the Type Metal Company.

And, I bought pounds of old books.

Finally, I bought many baskets~ flower and picnic.






The picture is from another weekend bulk purchase.... buttons, and more buttons! I have spent the last two days playing with my buttons getting them ready to sell.

What volume purchases can't you resist??????

Button, Button, Who's got the Button?

I have to admit that I spent much of the weekend reading about all the wonderful Where Bloggers Create workspaces. There are 450 bloggers participating in this party. I am up to the "S's".

Read my next post to see a "Keeping It Real" look at my workspace.






I did take Sunday morning off to attend the local parking lot flea market. My favorite purchase was this little plastic box filled with a lovely button collection.




Not surprisingly the vendor was a guy. I would have really been surprised to have found all these great buttons being sold by a women vendor for the price I paid. I would have purchased the neat green box empty for the same amount.







These will be great flower centers.







Another vendor, a former watchmaker, had all of these neat bottle sets including tiny clock parts.







Some extra clock parts thrown in a box.













Love these little bottles with red writing saying "Best Fit".




Back to reading more of the
Where Bloggers Create
I will be doing a recap of the party later this week featuring my favorite workspaces.

Anyone else taking on reading all of the Where Bloggers Create posts????
