For my birthday, my mom bought me a replica of an old scale--you know the kind you might find on a counter at on oldie type of mercantile---it's barn red, beat up and a BEAUTY---I was so happy to carry it home with me---thanks mom. Let's see---ohhhh, I also received an old, metal frame, painted sage green, beat-up with a beautiful, dusty, old primitive star in the center---it's hanging in my kitchen and makes me happy too----so, I have a thing for old stuff, and that's all I have to show you for a bit---just some of my old stuff---can't show you what I've been working on for a while, so I hope you'll enjoy some of my junky treasures, lol.
This is a little book I made for CreativeXpress a few months ago, that documents my love of anything old, red, and priceless.

You know what makes that little book a favorite to me - IT IS RED!!!! I decided a couple years ago that it was quite alright to LOVE everything RED, so your books fits right in besides I love your favorites!
