blossom - thrift thursday

thrift thursday, originally uploaded by blossomb.

Well, I'm trying really hard to make up for lost blogging time by posting many many things today, until my son wakes up from his nap (uh-oh!--can I hear him already??). In my last post, I was supposed to add some thrift thursday photos, but you can see how that ended up...I've been so busy with the end of summer, getting ready for school to start, and (BOO HOO!) going back to work (starting after labor day--it's so sad!), not to mention posting many new products in the shop and sending out a newsltter! Phew! So, I'm playing a little catchup before we trot off to my mom's house in Northern VA this weekend--if it doesn't flash flood, that is, which, with my luck, it most likely will...!

First things first, its thursday, so...It must be Thrift Thursday! Below is a sweet little fairy illustration that I bought at an antique store in Adamstown, Pa. I found it on one of my first thrifty outings with my husband, who, actually, wasn't involved with me in any way at the time other than friends (little did we know!). I paid $4.00 for it, and intended to give it to my mother for her birthday, but OOPS! kept it for my greedy little self!...
