I went Junking!

Geesh, is it ever going to dry out in Central Illinois? Spent the day Sunday at the 3rd Sunday Antique and Flea Market in Bloomington Illinios. It was a ton of fun and I got a bunch of goodies to use in my primitve creations. I had Make- dos on my mind so the search was for items to use for that and holiday decor. The thrill of the hunt has me inspired to start on Santas and Snowmen. I met up with my Crafting friend Lori. It was so nice to see her. We would be dangerous together if we lived closer. Checkout my loot. What would you use these pieces for?

I am so excited to get them almost done. I have xmas and fall visions starting in my head. Its about time for me to start stocking up for the busy holiday season.
