Beads, vintage jewelry, lace, ribbons, trims and odds-n-ends called to me. 
And some of the most decadant, shimmery fabric I have ever seen. True magic woven in every strand. I so hope Raven will want to be a gypsy for Halloween this year. Can you just see the costume begging to be assembled?
I had so much fun trying on all of the neat vintage hats and brought a few home with me along with a pretty vintage handbag. I even snagged a couple vintage fur collars and a silly Halloween purse for Raven. She'll love it. 
And this sad looking little critter was once a cute animal that became part of someones fur stoll I believe. Anyway I couldn't resist bringing it home to hubby. He has named it Spanky and is having fun teasing the cats with it. One hisses, one backs up and stares and one could care less. I'm sure she thinks just another cousin in the house. LOL! Hubby thinks Spanky will become part of his Golden Eagle regalia costume at some point. The guys like hanging them from belts or pouchs. Better than the dumpster I say and a cheap costume addition at just $3.00.
So I have lots of sorting and organizing ahead of me. I've already gone through You all have a great week now and find time to be creative too. I've been working on a few new ATC's, touching up Abby's Lesson and adding the final touches to the piece I made with Raven. I love the groovy 60's vibe it gives off.
Peace,
Tess

Bonjour Tess! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog the other day! I am keeping this long hair lock because this is the last length of hair completely brown I will ever have. I am turning completely grey so rapidly! What an amazing lot of treasures you got there! Come and visit again, I will too! Take care, LuLu
I LOVE old hats and gloves!!! That material LOOKS soOOOOOoo AWESOME!! I haven't been junking for quite sometime now! GLAD YOU had such good luck Tess!
Tess, you lucky girl!!! I see those pearly baubles...I love jewelry grab bags from the thrift store....I like that vintage purse and gloves...Poor little critter...It reminds me of a fur store that closed years ago in a now totally defunct mall...I used to dread walking by that store. My daughter, who was about 13 or so then, used to say that she wanted to walk in that store and speak to the owner! We never did, but, I hated walking by that store. I am so glad that you saved Scamp! What a pity that he might have ended up in a dumpster. Hey, I'm one who buys the little "orphaned" stuffed animal at the sitting by himself on the shelf at the thrift store because he looks lonely! You have a blessed day. Thanks for sharing your loot pics!
Hugs,
Marilyn
