Sharing

I found this wonderful antique (1885) book at the flea market last month.

I plan on using the cover for a Christmas swap I am participating in.

It is far too beautiful to use for only one project.

Please feel free to use it in your art.

I only scanned and sharpened the image,

you may alter it digitally or print it out to use in your collage work.

enJOY a lovely Friday

and Your Blessings,

An Amazing Autumn Day!

I hope everyone enJOYed a beautiful weekend.

Mr AJS and I walked what felt like miles at the flea market yesterday.

It was such a beautiful day!

Here are a few of my favorite finds:

I collect milk glass

and have a strange attraction to sugar and creamer sets of all sorts.

The funny thing is, I am a tea drinker

and take my tea straight,

no milk, no sugar,

just tea.

Love this cute little guy,

his arm is already mended,

and he is looking forward to Christmas.

I am participating in an ABC Christmas swap

and was hunting for an antique book to reuse for the cover of my book.

I thought this was perfect,

a simple change from Toto to Christmas

and I am set.

(have to love the $1.00 price too!)

enJOY Your Blessings,

My Friday Archives

My one and only

adventure in paper bag books

is featured today.

I created and sold this Halloween themed book

way back in 2006.

(who can believe that's 5 years ago?)

As I remember,

I truly enJOYed creating this work.

Maybe, it is time to dabble again.

I am beginning to sense a new project in my future.

enJOY a lovely Friday,

a beautiful holiday weekend,

 and Your Blessings,

A Novel Idea

Using the covers and paper from antique books as I do,

I am always in a quandary about what to do with the book spines.

Inspiration struck a little while back,

and here are two of the bookmarks I created.

Hoping that inspiration finds you in all you do.

enJOY Your Blessings,

Kimberly

Happy, Happy Sunday!

I have long admired the beautiful stacks of old books that I've found on so many wonderful blogs.

I thought I would have a go.

This flower is made up of new and vintage flowers, coffee dyed and rearranged,

I haven't given any time to thinking up a botanical name for it,

let's just say it's pretty.

enJOY a Blessed Sunday,

Kimberly
