Hitting the Jackpot at Garage Sales

11-17-2013
Good morning!  Yesterday we hit the garage sales here in Lubbock and had a successful day  finding components for our jewelry.  Our first stop was a large church sale  where we were able to pick up some beautiful hand painted porcelain Texas shaped buttons and pewter cowboy hats. ( we also of course managed to find the "boys" some new toys as they seem to go thru them rather quickly). Next stop was an old trading post that was closing down and we felt like we won the lotto.  We were able to get 10 old watches to use in our steam punk jewelry and we were able to bargain for a great price.  We then hit a few others with various results.  Of course the grand babies always win and we were able to pick up some great  books.  After we got home we had some fun creating some great earrings from our "finds".  Mitch has been busy taking apart the watches and he found some great surprises with one watch actually still in working condition.  The day was beautiful but windy  reminding me of Fall days in Oklahoma.  We made a stop at one of the local parks to let the dogs run and to our surprise there was a beautiful brown pelican  in the pond along with  the Canadian geese and ducks.  That is not a sight you expect to see in Lubbock! Here's a few pics for you to enjoy.  Keep in mind the holidays are just around the corner so be sure and stop in our Etsy shop to see all our designs!
