Weekend of treasure hunting

Something I always enjoy is going to estate sales.  I found lots of great treasures to share with you.

              Colorful shakers....great for storing glitter...you can find these at  http://www.everafterscrapbooks.com/

  

What a find this big dictionary was.  I love to tear it apart and use it in art projects or a back drop for my photo shoots.

I ran across lots of vintage lace...they are fun to add to my sewing projects.  I think I might use these to make a fun and funky lace dress.

Another great piece....this lace fabric.

The house that I went to, the person made miniature doll houses.  These old books, the insides were cut out. What great shadow boxes they would make.  You can find these at http://www.everafterscrapbooks.com/

Vintage inspired wall paper.  I was thinking these would be cool to put between glass to make jewelry.  I have these at http://www.everafterscrapbooks.com/

Lately I have seen Alice in Wonderland stamps.  Well I found this Alice in Wonderland Paper.  I only have a couple of sheets so make sure you make it into http://www.everafterscrapbooks.com/ before it's gone.

These are Victorian Images.  I can see them being used on trading cards or altered art projects.

Dry Rubons with vintage labels images.

These are small architectual pieces.  I thought they were so sweet...

Alphabet dry rub ons.

 I love old photos.  I use them for many different projects.  They are hard to find, but I got lucky and ran across these.

Old silverplate items are so chic.  The picture to the left is actually a napkin holder but I thought it would be great for holding photos or even letters and bills.  The photo to the right is a victorian lady bookmark.

This is a note card that was designed by the woman that signed it for a sorority.

Beautiful vintage blue bowl.  I'm not sure if it is depression glass but it is very anthropologie looking.  I have this for sale athttp://www.pangaeaoutpost.com/  

I'm not sure what these were exactly for but I thought, how cool they would be to glue some gems on and hang them on a chain....instant jewelry.

Vintage green satin clutch.  It fits with todays trend.  Check it out on my etsy page...http://www.etsy.com/shop/eclectikfunk

Vintage linen hand embroidered place mat, napkin, and table runner set.  Made in Hong Kong..you can see more photos on my etsy site. http://www.etsy.com/shop/eclectikfunk
