WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH THIS??

I picked up some items at a few antique shops while my friend was here visiting for a few days.

First I wanted to share the carrots I made using a tutorial from Clare's Craftroom blog, you can visit her here thanks for sharing Clare.

I gave some to my Figgy and one to my friend Barb.

I know we are all done with Easter but I would like to give credit to those that share tutorials with all of us.

Now on to the finds.

At a shop called Junk and Disorderly I found this vintage magazine. I love the advertisments in here. I am thinking of using some of the food ads in a brown paperbag mini /journaling/receipe album. I think these would make good backgrounds on the pages of the album.

What ideas do you have?

Did you notice this magazine cost 5 cents?? (not 5 cents when I bought it, but once it cost that much)

If you follow my blog you may remember the cheese box I purchased (see this post) that has the wheat grass in it.

I found at Creative Habitat a package of this wheat grass to grow some of my own.

I plan on putting together one of the vintage picnic baskets I received for Christmas using some of this grass. Stay tuned for that.

What other ideas do you have for some of this wheat grass??

I found these fantastic vintage patterns. I just love the images on the fronts.

I think I may make a vintage inspired album using these images as background paper and tag making.

What ideas do you have for me??

I found this vintage dish towel. I am thinking of making a purse/bag out of this.

The back side I may use red burlap.

Do you think it would be strange to carry around a vintage dish towel calendar as a bag?? I love vintage dish towels.

I found this dress at the junk store. I thought the material was pretty. I tore apart the dress and ripped strips of material. I put into the washer and dryer to make the strips all distressed. I plan on stamping on the strips. Any other ideas?? Here is an advertisment from the magazine.

Well, that is all of my finds for this time.

I would love to hear any other ideas you may have for projects using my new treasures.

I am linking up to the following linky parties this week. Be sure to go on over and visit a few, lots of inspiration out there.
