Projects and ideas that inspired me to Make It Myself
Found at the Flea: Candlestick Visit #2
The ruling is in and the Candlestick Park Antique and Collectibles Faire is hands down my favorite I’ve been too. Great finds, good prices, manageable size not many people (until all 20 who read this blog start going, beware). This past weekend I went for the second time with no intention to buy anything because I have no space or needs, other than to feed my creativity. My singular goal was to find five items to highlight on MIMs and I could not stop taking pictures of things I wanted. Including a cuckoo-clock that was only $10 (I left it for someone else)
