I'd be interested in Mixed Media, Collage, Altered Art books. Also for Somerset Magazines: Life, Studio, Home, Apprentice or possibly others from Somerset.  Make me an offer and I might be interested in what you want to part with.

I found this notebook at the Dollar Tree.  I liked the cover as it was, so I just added the chipboard label holder thingie after glittering with this awesome blue color, a piece of vintage doily and the Spanish word for pages, paginas.  I thought it turned out pretty adorable.

Here are some beautiful giveaways from those generous bloggers we all love.  Let's celebrate with them!

Cool Use for Magazines

In blogging around, I saw yet another cool use of paper.

Shupp's Grove Antique Market

The season is ending for this wonderful place. October 25 & 26 is their last open weekend of the year. I'll miss it so. It's located near Adamstown, PA, one of the biggest areas for antiquing. I hope some of you can visit next year. Unfortunately, I discovered Shupp's Grove late in the season, but did find some wonderful treasures. Here are a couple:

These are vintage magazines from the 20's. Wonderful old pictures and ads.


I can't wait to use these old books


And of course, couldn't walk away from these treats: lace, ribbon, trims and other fibers. Such things have a special place in my heart; but I'll never know that I'll ever use all that I have collected.
