Fantastic 14: Day 3: juNxtaposition

There are oh so many wonderful things I can say about Jeanne of juNxtapostion!

For starters, she is one of my closest, very best friends. Jeanne is someone who I can talk to for (literally) hours on end and yet STILL not have enough time to cover it all.

Jeanne has worn many hats over the years; at the present time, she is the expert of all things "wordy".

 juNxtapostion is THE source for the Original Typewriter Key Necklace, which has been sought after world-wide. It doesn't stop there, though...visit the juNxtaposition website where you'll find typewriter key bracelets, stamped silverware handles, bubble necklaces...it's all so exciting.

Visit juNxtaposition at any major event, and you'll see something like this.

Pretty impressive, huh?

JuNxtaposition's blog gives you a sneak peek into the wonderful and exciting world of travelling across the country. Her photos share with you the eclectic mix of new and old, pale and bright...all of the interesting things that make this country a great place to live.

And...today might be YOUR lucky day! juNxtaposition is running a Pin It to Win It contest on Pinterest! Click on the photo below, the re-pin it to your board as an entry. The winner will get to select a bubble necklace of his or her choice. Yea!

I invite you to check out juNxtaposition's blog, and follow her on Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. You'll be glad you did!

Flea Marketing!

Here we are, another week gone by, another Sunday to cherish. Again, I find myself preparing for a day of creating, beginning with my weekly trip to the local flea market.

Most Sundays I happily peruse the aisles of the flea market, peeking through piles of junk and pulling out what I would call treasure.

It's something I have come to crave: The Thrill of The Hunt. Many of us feel it; it's a primal lure that calls to us like a siren, begging that we come with our dollar bills and sift through the seas of castoffs and rescuing the beautiful and the brave.

I have a special love for these kinds of things; the old, the unwanted, the items destined for landfill. It is these things I seek out so that I can bring them home, clean them, re-work them, and turn them into new works of art that will once again be loved. These bits of broken history are, by my hand, given a new lease on life.

Those earrings, the ones that hardly anyone wears, are rescued.

Broken necklaces and brooches, once cast aside, are again brought into the limelight.

So friends, there it is. Another week gone by, another haul of treasures, another group of misfits to be cared for and loved again!

I'd love to hear your stories and see your treasured finds!
