Every couple of months, we have a "sidewalk sale" in our neighborhood. It's a mini-flea market is what it is. 10-12 vendors set up on both sides of the sidewalk next to Clare Graham's studio. It usually falls right between the PCC and the Long Beach Flea Market, so I can get a teeny tiny flea market fix.
I only got four things but each one is fabulous!
The necklace has 5 strands of glass beads. Think of the repurposed jewelry I can make with that!
I love these little bottles of watch parts from Elgin. I put them into shrines and necklaces. The last one I sold was bought by a woman for her daughter-in-law - whose maiden name was Elgin. She was so thrilled. For myself, I always think of my brother, who lives in Elgin, Illinois. In any case, I love them - and the color of the label.
Here's a closer look. The watch face will look great embedded in a book cover. The hinged watch crystal is big to put in a book, but I may find a way to use it there anyway.
In the meantime, I'm just overflowing with ideas for those little tubes. There was another whole tray of them available. I hope I won't regret not getting them..
Love the little itty bitty vials. Good find! :)
