Thrifty Tuesday

One of my favorite things to do is Thrifting or IRAD (Indoor Recreational Activity Day) - the other name for it is "Super Tuesday."  That's when Goodwill has their $1.49 certain color tag sale.  My friends and I meet, SHOP and then off to one of our favorite restaurants for Tomato Basil Soup.  It's a great day!

I'm always looking for special material for items I make for my Etsy store, which by the way is called "Art is in the Doing."  Check it out!

Also I look for anything that is Crystal, Silver, or White.  I find some pretty neat items, here are a few.

Painted Tissue Paper

Wristlets ~ fun for teenagers to wear to school, a party or event.

What do you think?  A little funky & a little fun!

Made from a cut-off writst area from a shirt or blouse. 

  This one is from a light corduroy shirt with the little snaps already in place, added some lace, buttons, an old brooch and a little funky yarn!

This is the back side.

Christmas Reindeer Family

These are the beautiful family of reindeer made for the
center piece for our Annual Holiday get together.
