Rummage Sale!!!
Jan. 25th, 2003 09:43 pmToday, I had no plans. I figured I'd make a duct-tape wallett, and work on some magnets and little sculpey thingees. I got a call around noon that there is this rummage sale at the local farm (mind you, the only local farm... this is north jersey). So I bust outta here because I was informed that there was a lot of great craft stuff really cheap.
I got 3 huge shopping bags o' stuff for only $40... I got some decorative votive holders, velvet ribbon, 2 spools of rope cord, 12 floating candles, 2 wooden boxes, 2 wooden wal-shelf thingges for only $2! I would have spent at least $20 apiece at AC Moore... I got a lot of boxes and candle stuff to play around with.
So far, I took one of these trays that looks like a picket fence all around it, primed & painted it and then glued big sunflowers so that it looked like a front yard and put candles in the tray. I wish I could put pics up, but I don't have a digital camera. Oh yeah, and at the rummage sale, there was this pretty cat wandering around, and it kept jumping into this box of fake roosters. I really wanted to get one of those chickens, but I had no clue what I would do with a life-sized, realistic replica of a chicken.
I also have a question. I know that modge-podge will wash away with water, but what is something I can use to seal it so that it will be water proof after my project is done? I got some arcrylic spray sealer today so maybe that would work?
