Just for fun (and a little decoration)...vintage magazine advertisements (some of them are so funny!) (mounted on posterboard), and hung on the metal table top with magnets that we decorated with keys, knobs, etc...
Here's a wonderful collage that Terri made - so many interesting bits and pieces!
Yep - one of our wire cloches with some more silver of course!
These are some of the necklaces Terri makes - with both old and new components - lots of awesome vintage buttons.
Here's a print we picked up at a garage sale I think. Anyway, we embellished her (we love doing that) with old lace, buttons, some sparkle, and stuff... We named her "Rosa".
Here she is up close - we even added a necklace - every girl loves a little bling!
Here's a collage I made out of a little wooden drawer. The theme is New York City - with some great little elements, the small cast iron Statue of Liberty, the playing card, the model in front of the bright lights, the little red apple (for the BIG apple), the crystal ball (for the ball that drops on New Years Eve), etc... This was a fun one to do.
Here's a close up - some Scrabble pieces, and two wooden game/bingo pieces in memory of 9/11 up in the corner.
Here are two of Terri's "embellished" hand mirrors - lots of bling with vintage jewelry. These are super sweet! (and always a favorite)
And, here are the lamps I "embellished" (there's that word again) with antique lace, buttons, and some crystal for - yep, you guessed it - some bling!
A paperweight - I filled with old white and mother-of-pearl buttons (I really loved this one)
A whimsical collage I made.

Ok - this is it! Some of our projects that we made to sell at Extravaganza.
Now to start planning for the next show...

P.S. Janis - Terri has collaged for a while, and I just started (I made three new ones over the weekend) - they're so much fun. Posted: 11:01 am on October 5th
It's amazing what can be done with bits and pieces many of us already have laying around. Great details and thanks for inspiring us all!

Kathy, it’s a good thing you’re so good at documenting your junk adventures. So far the closest one of your sales has been to Connecticut is 700 miles away. Too far for a weekend drive.

You and Terri definitely have the knack. Your items are great. I'll have to mark my calendar for next year (when is it?). Will try to make it--daugthter getting married May 21st and will be booked till then. Hopefully soon though!!

Midge - Definitely mark your calendar for the spring show! I've confirmed with Kathy that I'll be there as well and it would be great fun to have a junker gathering!
Kathy - I just may see you at Scott's! We've chosen to stay in Columbus during Thanksgiving (Wed-Fri) at a waterpark down there. Going to COSI on Friday but I'm going to try to schedule a few hours at Scott's! Fingers crossed!
Great post again, Kathy.

Kim - I bought this old paperweight (empty) at an estate sale - and added the buttons, cut a circle out of a piece of a vinyl wallcovering sample that I got from work, and glued it to the bottom. The paperweights are cool because they magnify the contents. Gretchen gave me the idea of using them and I decided to do buttons in this one - I think she had done some for an occasional sale. Hoping to find more...

Such gorgeous stuff! My favorite is the buttons in the paperweight. Did you re-make an old paperweight, or can you buy empty ones? Love it!

My fingers are crossed too - hoping for a caravan of members at Springfield in the spring! :) We'll be at the Scott Antique Show in Columbus, Ohio on Thanksgiving weekend - if anyone's nearby!
Hope you're having a great weekend - leaving now to check out a couple garage sales (the season is winding down...darn...!).

Be Well,
