{new finds}...

Went to Phoenix yesterday and took the opportunity to check out a shop
that Karen Valentine over at My Desert Cottage blogged about.
It's so great that she does this.  Phoenix is nearly a two hour drive
from me and I would never know about all these great places just trying
to drive around looking for them. 
 
  At Rust and Roses I picked up some old letter stamps with my initials and middle name
In a couple of different sizes.  (No, not that one - it's Joy)
As well as this old window frame.  I woke up last week and thought I want to
find an old frame just like this.  And voila!  I could not have found a
more perfect match to my imagination than this one.
I'm not sure what all I might do with it.  But, among other things, I think it
 makes a great prop for photo opts.
The morning lighting was too strong for much experimenting
but I had to give it a quick try with these tall beauties

That window is beautiful and looks so interesting out in the garden. I have some of those printers blocks too, aren't they wonderful? I also found a small printer's tray that I keep some of my finds and embellishments in for my art projects.
