Painting Dresses

One thing I am looking forward to this Spring (besides the weather) is moving
I need more space to store my paintings and paint bigger projects I have in works
Now, I have this fascination
of painting with beautiful dresses...
and I will do it when I get the space.... but for now....
I will night dream about these expensive beauties :)

My Purchases from Big John's


Brought back home a few vintage hair clips made in France

I usually only like to take pictures of cute kitty items I find, but this hair clip had
to be mine :)






Can't wait to wear them


I also purchased about 50 vintage photos to add to my collection
The photos are by far the best of all
I can just sit and make up their
life story in my head




Lots of them had the date on the back




Heels on rocks!



The best necklace under the collar look by far




Thanks for stopping by

My Weekend- Sunday

Sunday was a great day
We drove to Joliet for some vintage goodies
We first stopped for treats

How cute are these watermelon desserts?







"Rosca"





Lovely drive, so smooth and pleasant








Here are a few pictures inside
"Big John's Flea Market & Antiques"

If you didn't see my last post from the November trip
to the same shop,
here it is :)



Awesome beer can



Apple then & Apple now




Cute poddle planter




Hand painted 








The mirror pic :)





So many items!








We then drove off and wondered to 
an interesting location where we found an abandon factory/building


Love the rusted detail of the doors




This reminds me of a contemporary art installation
What do you think?
I think it looks so cool




This does as well




Who's this handsome fella? ;)



We also walked to a frozen pond 

The letter "M"



Casino time!
This casino had a great old hollywood theme 





Nice




Awesome movie posters








The Mr. and I ...hehe
I was overdressed



Beautiful mural




Great pictures even in the bathroom








Lost some thrifting money





Buffet action!

Sushi.....
I can't believe I didn't take pictures of the desserts
They were so delicious





Leaving full and satisfied :)
