I love going to thrift stores, flea markets, and pretty much anywhere there is a good deal; Finding my new treasure and re-purposing it or let the magic flow, and come out with something very cool. I also love to go junkin'... whether it is for car parts or whatever!

This weeks treasure hunt finds...
So this week I found a couple of cool items that work perfectly for me. The first are these floating shelves. Floating shelves are an amazing idea, but they are expensive. I love them and have always wanted some... so of course I squealed when I saw them.
They needed a little touch up but otherwise perfect, hardware and all for $5 each, I found them at two different stores. These shelves will be perfect for me to display my sculptures, which currently sits inside of a china cabinet, and are just way to hidden.
My next find was unexpected and I almost missed it. You see I love fishing, I have been going since I was a kid, and now as an adult its really relaxing. So when we moved into the new house, I decided I was going to decorate the dining room in a fishing theme. This has turned into an ordeal because it's a little difficult to find that stuff.
Oh there is plenty of Coastal fishing stuff or Country themed. I am neither of those, but when I found this I knew it would be a perfect fit and functional. I really like the background and the best part is it opens up to a key rack... So this will fit right in perfectly!
Thanks everyone! Coming soon... a project from another find from this week!
