THRILL OF THE HUNT ...


Happy Friday to all , sorry for the delay in posting , it's been a busy creative week here at the homestead . 
This past weekend we took a family outing to the local thrift store and managed to find a few treasures to re-purpose ,which in turn occupied quite a bit of our free time organizing and creating with those items . 
We absolutely LOVE the thrill of the hunt for new "old treasures " and the promise of giving those items a new life . 
Are you a thrifter? What's your favorite things to search for ?

OUR PILE OF THRIFTED TREASURES

Out of the three of us , Mr. Fox was the only one without a dedicated " work space " , and this particular trip to the thrift store yielded a resolution for this dilemma . A rather nice vintage desk , though in need of a small amount of love and refinishing , still quite usable and for a mere $22 quite a bargain  . Hopefully once warmer Spring weather arrives , this will become one of Mr. Fox's first major refinishing projects.
However after a little discussing and a lot of  re-arranging, it quickly found a home in the master bedroom , because unfortunately there just wasn't enough spare space in the "studio" to add yet another work space .

We also scored a beautiful soft wool blend sweater in the sweetest pale pink , which Angela decided would make an adorable  OOAK Valentine-esq bear.

What would you have done with the above treasures ???

We will include the rest of our treasures in future posts as we finish creating with them as we have several works currently in process. We hope you enjoyed seeing our treasures and what we have done with them  and look forward to visiting with you again soon .Have an Amazing Weekend ~ Angela
