Hello..... hope you all had a great Halloween! For today's Junkin' Monday post, I wanted to share pictures I took last weekend of my friend
Jana's, Fall Trade Days. She's located in Arlington & her shop, Collected Treasures is just darling...stop in & treat yourself if you're in the area. For the Trade Days, she closed up shop & opened up her back lot to dealers from all over the metroplex. The weather was beautiful, the company was good & the shopping was great....gotta love them days!
Here's my friend Cindy, admiring some jewelry in Joanna's booth (from Sweet Finds ). Cindy & I went to high school together & we recently reconnected. She makes beautiful jewelry & I keep telling her she needs to start a blog.

Here's Joanna & me. Joanna taught the crown class in my Paper Cowgirl retreat..she's super-talented & mega-sweet. We also took a ruched rose class from Jana recently & she's joined the Art Diva's group....I'm looking forward to many more classes, both w/ her & from her.

And this gorgeous booth is Jana's....isn't it dreamy? You should see her shop!

Here's Jana, the Queen Diva herself! I just love her outfit! I have to brag on Jana for a minute cause she may be the most talented woman I know. She seems to be able to do everything & do it extremely well & w/ great style....but I like her anyway. ;o)

Look at the sweet little aprons she makes...I should have gotten me one! But I can pick one up the next time I'm in her shop.

And these are the some of the girls from my art group. We're missing Jana, Joanna, me & Rochelle. From left to right it's
Lisa, JoAnn (she's the girl I copied the altered spoons idea from...she doesn't have a blog but should),
Charlene,
Carolyn &
Pat. This is one talented group of women...I'm very honored to be a part of the Art Diva's!

And this china cabinet of Lisa's was beautiful...I'm very surprised it didn't sell. I have one almost exactly like it & will never tire of it. You can see mine
here in this post. Mine doesn't have the wonderful gingerbread trim in the door though.

I didn't buy much that day, spent too much time talking & laughing & not enough time focused on teh hunt. I saw several things, in everybody's pictures, that I never noticed while shopping. But I did score some treasures!

And isn't this little kewpie doll sweet? I bought 4 huge bags of the shredded sheet music...at a $1.50 a bag, it wasn't worth doing it myself!

Got a "herd" of tiny deer & some tee-weensy Christmas scenes. Also some scrabble letters spelling out "create".

Couple of flash cards...my favorites are the ones that say "gobble" & "turkey" but I also got cake, grandfather, house & nest.

Love thsi old shoe form! I saw an altered one by somebody in the "It's All About Me" party & it made me want to do one.

Love these tiny little "scenes". They'll be great on tags or under a mini-cloche or something.

And I bought this Valentine kit to make a special Valentine for a very special granddaughter.

I had a lot of fun that day....visiting w/ friends both new & old, junkin' for treasures & soaking up a gorgeous fall day. Life is good! Jana is having another Trade Days next spring & guess who will have a booth there? Yep, I'm giving myself a "license to buy" (as Jana calls it)...what fun!
