I'm so excited for the River City Gift Shoppe Copley Picker Days event that will take place on August 19 and 20th. Both my paper art booth and my vintage finds will be on sale.

I made this journal, along with others, Friday. I will be taking them and some new handmade signs to my booth, River City Gift Shoppes, Copley, Ohio.

I had a terrific Saturday morning searching garage sales with my friend Kim. I found what I was looking for, vintage luggage! 2 black pieces and 1 blue plaid print; all 3 are in wonderful condition. I have washed the outsides and now I'm airing out the insides. The process of lightly misting several times over the opened luggage is leaving a fresh smell, thanks to Lysol Spray. I also found vintage books, vintage lace (an entire bolt from Canada) and vintage Christmas ornaments. I cannot believe I'm buying Christmas items, but I did!
