Jughead Assemblage

Finally the creative juices are beginning to flow....whew!

the piles of miscellaneous stuff is taking up large quantities of air space....I MUST do something with it!

Oddly, it has landed in these wackadoo assemblages of hanging junk people.
This one is named "Jughead"....hmmm.

Technological Quote of the Day!

"technology is beautiful, efficient, exciting...and the most effective use of any power source known to man, until it resembles a bag of knotted, un-energetic and twisted strands of colorful, yet chaotic clumps of useless embroidery thread"
-alexa lett


If you have not assembled my thoughts from the above profound quote....I will paraphrase.  My computer and email have been messed up since November 9th!  Need I explain more?

Finally, with much discussion, "live chat", impatience, warting of technicians by me, and some very helpful people with Comcast....we are live and operative again!

Much needed ORDER!!

Gaudy-ized!

Purchased this miniature dress dummy at the most awesome antique store in Chattanooga, TN...

But it glowed of "mass production"!  So, I gaudy-ized it!  If ever you find interesting display pieces...snap them up!  You can always use them!


What I have learned about retail.....

1.  you may make something outstanding...but, if not displayed in a unique/attractive way....forget it!
2.  If you purchase generic store displays....personalize it!  Make it reflect your creativity!
3.  Never sell awesome displays.  I've replaced things over and over again.  It gets too hard to find some interesting display pieces, so reconsider putting a price tag on everything.

Winner...Winner Bark Cloth Thrifter!

Just needed to kill about 20 minutes before meeting the family at the theatre....and luckily, a Goodwill store shares the same parking lot.  Just popped in there to see what treasure I might find and look....four, perfect, not moth eaten, no peep holes, Bark Cloth curtain panels...in my favorite colors!  

Currently they are all in a bag to take to the cleaners.  
Can't wait to find a room to hang them in...whoop...whoop!


Drum rooooollllllll........
You are going to flip when you see the price....


Yes.....two Bark Cloth...perfect curtain panels for only $5.99!   
The Junk Fairies were shining down!
There is nothing better than finding such a treasure on a whim!

"Just when you least expect it....
a little treasure will surface, 
don't expect the good, just rejoice in the surprise."

After yesterday's post of "too"...I chose to swing toward the minimalist side...anyway it is for me.  
Just a little schizophrenic creativity!
