Friendship Farm Antiques

Judy is always addition more antique items, as well as, new pillows and

lampshades.

After being inspired by the fabulous shadow boxes made by Connie Fong.

 artfulplay.blogspot.com and her sister, Diana, I got going on my own

shadow box.   I don't own enough of the wonderful Washi Tape to

be as creative, but,  I still had fun with mine.  Now I have to decide what

trinkets to put inside.

I used a translucent paint with shimmer in "old gold" to paint the box and only put the 

Washi Tape on the dividers.  I  actually made two boxes, one to take into the store for sale

and one to keep.

I also made some new tags after finding these great old postcards.

My new goal is to show what's new in the shop at least once a week so:

This is a great old "Vowel Dominoes" set.

The box is original and complete.

They are thick cardboard and could be a wonderful

addition to an altered art project.

The two old bottles can give you a jump start on your 

Halloween project!

More new tags

I haven't had much time to work on tags but I did get these two

in the shop along with some more seam bindings 

and new silk ribbons.

She is actually a frame.  Her picture can be taken out

so you can put  in one of you own

and  the "hey girl friend" flag is removable 

also.

New Items in the Shop.

Judy has brought in some new items that are so cute!  

This is a wonderful display box w/glass  hinged lid.

This trivet is porcelain set in a wicker frame...just beautiful!

This sampler is dated 1898 and is in mint condition!

(it is resting on a pillow)

Yes, more Majolica that is her passion.  These asparagus plates

are about 100 years old and are perfect.

I am happy to say that

Thanks to all who made our open house a wonderful day!  It was great to see old friends

Our tins of home-made Caramels were such a hit we have been asked to

do them again for Valentines Day along with some of the other home-made

sweets that everyone enjoyed.
