found objects

one mans trash...
is this girls treasure.

here are a few of the treasures that i found today!
they truly are little treasures... to me.     

keep your eyes open for beautiful things, they are everywhere around you. 
i spent under $20 on my beautiful things today.



this is a $4.99 velvet, nails and gold thread 3D tiger! 





the objects below are glass and copper.  the bowl on the left was $2.99, it is pressed glass with a beautifully aged copper band around the top. 
the object on the right seemed to have been a pendant lamp (i think) in its past life.  i think that i am going to make it into a terrarium. price $3. 



this little pony has rusted springs, a wooden base and chipped paint.  makes me love it even more.  less than $10.  they could not wait to get rid of it-- the sales woman told me that they kept tripping on it. they put it outside to get it out of the shop--the I spotted it... i love it.  great for photobooths, + photoshoots in the future.  name:: Wonder Horsee. sooooo sweet. 



*just because items are at the Goodwill, junk shops and other re-sale stores... does not mean that they are broken or useless.  in fact i feel just the opposite.  i find things that no one else will have, things that may have been loved very much by someone in the past.  it has new life with me.  i a happy, and i bet they would be happy for me to have it.  jessica


caught in my closet!

like mother, like daughter. 
i love you miss ayva sunshine!

today was the first day my daugher has shown any interest in wearing my clothes.  she chose this leopard shirt for school today and i did not mind a bit! 

i cannot wait till i can wear her clothes.
