part of my bookbinding
course is learning to repair an old book so what a great excuse to do some thrift shopping...on Friday I met my friend Patty for a quick coffee and afterwards off I went in search of a tattered book but look what else I found?
a 60's clutch purse full of faux pearl necklaces - all mine for just $3.00! beautiful shades of lusture...pretty pretty!
i also found some sweet childrens books - darling illustrations that make me smile! a good thrifting day it was!!
Just wanted to say 'Thank you, thank you...' for all your warm, wonderful comments about my Etsy shop, your encouragement and support is just the BEST!!!!!!
the clutch and the pearls for $3.00...oh my gosh...what a deal! Love the blue pearls...those are awesome!
