New hobbies, old hobbies and fun finds!

I finally have my wonderful camera back...Cal might not be getting it back for a long LONG time!!!  I have been so excited to share my new hobby with my blog world!  I am getting into MAKING jewelry.  I am not sure if I am more in love with the wonderful time I am spending DOING my new hobby OR if it is the idea that I might be able to GIVE my jewelry away-regardless I am happy!  Sooo you can imagine how excited I was tonight to get my long lost camera out (it has been with Cal for the last month!) and try to capture my work....buttttt it was too late in the day and the lighting just wouldn't work sooo here are so pictures with bad lighting just so you can get the idea!  Family/Friends if you like what you see let me know..as I said I am just as excited about making as GIVING!

And this last picture is a wonderful transition into the second half of this blog post-my fun finds of the weekend!  For those of you who don't know I LOVE ANTIQUES!!!!!!!  The type of antiques that I obsess over usually stem from something I see in a pottery barn magazine...not sure where my latest one came from but its all about SCALES for me right now!  The scale in this last picture was from a post office a LONG time ago!  Shipping was between 1-10 cents depending on weight of course-think of the things I could ship for that cost!  

And....my last find was a kitchen scale-----I have been looking for one FOREVER!!! I am super excited to change what I have setting on it every other minute!  

And finally an old hobby, or at least project I have been thinking I need to try again and re-invent: 

I am picturing doing something a bit more antique-ish this time with a christmas word for holiday decorating!  I have all kind of ideas for holiday decorum, this is just one of the many projects I am wanting to take on---more on that to come!
