Running around

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!

I spent the weekend at home with my family. I suggested that we do some cleaning at my grandparents house. My grandmother used to be a shopoholic, so there is a tonnnn of stuff in that house. Thank god she doesn't shop like that anymore! But while there was tons of crap in that house there was a lot of cool vintage things as well. I love to look through her old costume jewelry, she's given so much of it to me because she knows I like to take old findings and beads off old jewelry to make my own new stuff. So I acquired a few pieces this time as well. I also retrieved tons of old buttons - they're awesome. But I think my most exciting find has to be the 1968 encyclopedias. I have no clue what to do with them, but I had to have them. The graphics were just too cool to throw away! I can't wait to find a project to use them with!

On another note, I took much of her stuff to the flea market on Sunday to help make her some money. But there's just so much, so I decided to set her up with a vintage etsy shop. It's called GrandmasClosets. Literally, there's many many closets in that house, so remember the S at the end. Soon I'll be putting up some of her sweet old jewelry! Keep looking! I'll let you know on here when stuff is posted!

As for now, it's time for bacon chicken and potatoes - yum :)
