blossom - happy flea market finds

happy flea market finds, originally uploaded by blossomb.

Well, I finally joined a Flickr group, thanks to a post from Primrose. The group is called Thrift Thursday, and these earrings are one of my contributions! Ummm--yeah, I know: it's Monday. Well, anyone who knows me can tell you that I am either way of ahead of my time, or way overdue. There isn't much middle ground for me. And when a moment springs up out of the abyss for me to accomplish a little something extra, I have to take that instant of inspiration and run with it, lest it be lost forever! For example, my dear friend Melissa, who lives way too far away, called me last week (Melissa, I'm writing this for you until that moment comes along again...), and I was supposed to call her back that evening when the tempest that is my life quiets a bit. However, the god-awful heat was producing nasty power-outtages, so our phone and everything else was frustratingly unusable, so the moment of connection passed, and now...Oh, dear, can 4 or 5 days have swept by so quickly? I am truly the worst! Note to all who have to endure this irritating quality of mine: I'm so sorry!!! I love you, I mean well, and I promise life will catch up to me with another opportunity soon! Don't give up on me!
Well...back to my thrifty earrings: this was an opportunity for loveliness that I did NOT let slip away! I snagged these cuties for $2.00! Aren't you jealous? :)
