Tattered Shoes

I'm having a few business cards printed for my shop

RECONSIDERED.

I've tried making them myself in the past, but they just don't look the way I want them to.

Since I sell Antique Curiosities & Vintage Treasures,

I photographed these old, tattered, baby shoes as an option to use on my cards.

I didn't want my cards to look like anybody elses, and these well worn shoes have a certain charm to them, don't you think?

I just love the look of old, tattered, things.

These shoes are one of my favorites.

Do you love tattered things too?

I'd love to hear your comments.

Thanks for visiting.

Art Junk

 For some reason I find myself being addicted to junk lately. Instead of my usual trips to the craft store for supplies, I've been gathering junk to use in my art projects and to decorate my home. When I found these old wire shoes, they were filled with dusty dirty silk flowers. My daughter said she wouldn't have seen the potetial in these when I bought them. I'm thinking of doing something with moss and antique lace. It's funny how somebody's dirty, old junk makes me happy.

 I love this primitive old drawer too. I'm thinking it would make a good shadowbox.

I took down several paintings and hung these old printers drawers in their place. I'm pretty sure my husband thinks I'm losing my mind. All I know is, I'm having fun collecting junk and thinking of ways to use them as art.
