Treasure hunting....





I LOVE the Alameda Swap Meet!!  It's HUGE and fabulous!!  A fun fun! day of treasure hunting!



Found this darling bird aviary for my new studio.  Something that I had no idea that I needed...but had to have!  Photo is of my daughter, Ashley.....



My new favorite color...Geige!



This swap meet is a great place to find inspiration.  Love this cement wing!!



The best part of the day is coming home to lay out and share the eclectic groups of finds....



Wonderful rusted metal leaves, clock faces, French letters, icons....



A Madonna picture made with bamboo strips....



Beautiful lace and beaded sleeves from an antique gown, Buddhist icons, metal drawer pulls....



My first two finds of the day...and my favorites....a gold glass orb and a funky hand carved wooden rabbit...



Ohhh...and I LOVE the color and shape of this glass hand!



Fun torso that I will cover with French letters...and a beautiful beaded top that will end up being used for a artdoll costume.



This was a cool idea...it is the back of a refrigerator and will look great on the wall to display photos, using magnets.



Ahhhhh....and my new aviary.....in my studio ....repainted Greige!...and soon to hold seven finches or parakeets ( does anyone have any thoughts on which birds are best to choose??)....each one chosen by a granddaugther.....so their songs will fill my heart while I create :)  Life is good!
