blast from the past

This summer while hitting the flea market circut. I rediscovered my love for these faces. Fisher Price little people (before there were choking hazards).

Dealers are selling them and all their accessories....some for a some serious cash. ie) the castle. They made me smile, so I took home a big handful and figured I would come up with some use...and I did.

This weekend at the Craftacular (very fun by the way), I debuted my little guys as necklaces or keychains. They got a stellar reaction. Lots of smiles, memories and good ole nostalgia...especially the dog. My Jabberjaw lunchbox provided a nice display box as well as the little slide transformed into a sign holder. I will have more next week at the Artist Open House and if there are any left...look for them in my shop.

Speaking of the Open House. As I mentioned last week, this is a show with my furniture pieces. So besides my already completed projects, I have been digging thru the garage to see what others I can crank out in a short time frame.

I picked up this telephone table at the Cedarburg flea and it has made the cut. A scrap piece of woolen, plaid fabric was the inspiration and I just picked up the paint yesterday. It is going to be very modern, hunting lodge chic. Look for it later this week here ,or see it LIVE at the open house this Sunday the 6th.
