Halloween

My witch's cabinet.  I keep finding things to add

like a skull and a bat (not in the picture)

I loved the altered pumpkin ideas from Jenny Doh's  blog.

The 

wonderful witch box is a Charlene Geiger creation that I was lucky enough to buy at the Tinsel and Treasures http://www.tinselandtreasures.com/ show here in Alamo, Ca.

The lady on the pumpkin is a Nicole Sayre design. http://nicolsayre.typepad.com/nicol_sayre/

This fabulous witchy girl is by Colleen Moody http://colleenmoody.blogspot.com/

and I am so lucky to own her!  

These treasures are from Debbie Addie, Iva Wilcox http://www.ivascreations.typepad.com/

and Charlene Geiger.  I apologize for the quality of the pictures.  I am working on

taking better pictures and I am not sure if it is just me or the camera, I am sure it is both. Now I really appreciate the great photos on all the  blogs I follow as it is not easy!  

                                  

My little corner of the shop:

While waiting to get a photographer in to get some great shots of the shop, I am posting a picture I took a while ago.   Can't wait to get professional pictures.

Welcome to my blog.  I have enjoyed so many fantastic blogs both for the inspiration and
 information for so long now that I  finally decided to jump in and try creating a blog of my
 own.


I am always hunting for the things I love to collect, sell, and transform into something
 new again, or for those pieces that should just be loved for their own well loved worn
out beauty.


I sell my new and vintage ribbons lace and other vintage "smalls" inside the most wonderful antique shop, "Friendship Farm Antiques".  Judy, my dearest friend and owner has been in the antique business for 30 years.  She and her wonderful husband  shipped containers from England and France for the better part of 20 years.  The shop is filled with antique English and French country  furniture and accessories,  as well as custom lamp shades, pillows and much more.  Judy has a vast collection of transferware and Majolica.   I'll be posting pictures of the shop soon but to give you an idea of what I like here are a few pictures of my collections and what I hunt for.

                                            
Thought I'd add a couple of
pictures of the tags I make and
sell at Friendship Farm Antqiues,
Findings, in Carmel and
The Birdcage in Solana Beach.
