This has not been a very productive few days, but every once in a while one needs to refuel. That's what I've been doing and hopefully it will pay off with more productivity in the week to come.
Friday was the beginning of the refueling as I went to the flea market in Nashville with Shawn from
Silo Studios. She is a flea market pro, while I am just a novice. I hadn't been in years, but I'm hooked and plan to go back often. I found a vendor with a wonderful selection of beads and stones and bought several and also a vintage leather change purse and some rusty old keys that will become a new necklace.
Saturday was a rest day and a visit to our son and daughter-in-law's house. By the time we left their house, it was starting to rain and snow. By late evening the snow was coming down fast. We woke the next morning to at least 8" of snow! That is very rare here to have that much snow.
Before lunch we got a call from my sister-in-law that they were bringing their kids to sled at our house.
They live an hour away and had only had a sprinkling of snow so they headed to where there was plenty. We had a great afternoon with the kids, sleds, dogs, and ATV.
It was fun to play for a day and to have children around again. They bring life to where ever they go.
After I finish this post, I'm going to get to work....I promise.....really...
Last Friday was the start of flea market weekend at the Nashville Fairgrounds. I love to have a free afternoon to wander and peruse the wares.
This mirror was very intriguing for a self portrait shot.
Of course you can always find cowboy boots in Nashville.
I love the big letters.
This vendor had spelled out various words all over the pavement.
And this is the treasure that I went to find...loads of new beads and cabochons to make some new creations. To top off all of that inspiration, my new issue of Jewelry Artist magazine was in the mailbox when I got home. Woooooohoooooo....studio, here I come!
