Some Fun Finds...


This week, On Valentine's Day, my husband suggested we go do a little treasure hunting!  Sounded like a great Valentine's date to me!
We found some vintage sheet music, as well as this old music book appropriately entitled "Harmony", and a couple of old camp meeting music booklets...



In the craft area, I found five packages of rub on transfer letters in different fonts- 39 cents each!


Lots of trims...


and a great old mirror!  The glass is tarnished and beveled, and I love the unusual square shape!


Look at this great old handmade toy fort~ the roof is made of popsicle sticks!  I love the folk art feel of this!


This spice rack was a great find!  The labels peeled off easily...


and now it is being used in my studio to hold glitters I've been collecting...


Hope you had some fun finds this week, too!

I am linking up to A La Carte's Junkin Finds Friday

Until next time...
Linda

    Linda,
    Great finds! I love the trims and the spice rack...great way to store something as difficult to contain as glitter. There's nothing more fun than a day of treasure hunting...you did well!

    Love your finds! That log cabin is quirky and so cool! What are your plans? It could make a really fun holiday vignette. Spice rack is perfect for your glitter.

    Wish I could get my hubby to go on treasure hunts - simply not his thing. Great finds and like the idea for the spice jars...

    My husband and I are inveterate collectors together. In fact we've had to declare a moratorium on it for awhile especially after our last trip it's starting to overflow!

    I always seem to like your taste in collecting as you know.

    Oh, the sweet finds on sweethearts day, Linda! I fell for the mirror, love the beveled mirrors. Vintage ones are hard to come by. And the camp song books, Lincoln log fort, what a fun day. Thanks for the tour.

    See now, this is why I blog, I think if I were to tell my local friends that I had a rack for my glitter they would smile, nod their heads, and back away slowly. But here we smile, nod our heads, and exclaim "Oh, what a fantastic idea!"

    Love your new guest room, can't wait to see what other goodies you add.
    Susanne.

    I love treasure hunting! Some days I walk out empty handed but not very often! There always seems to be something that I just didn't know I couldn't live without. lol

    Great finds Linda! I can't wait to see what you do with that old sheet music - I know it will be awesome :) And what a wonderful way to spend Valentine's Day. I don't think I could ever get my guy out on a hunt with me. All he ever does is shake his head - lol

    You found some great things! I love the camp meeting song books and that log camp, what will you do with that? Looks like you had fun with your hubby, how sweet that he would do that for you. Or does he enjoy searching through old stuff, too?
