Crazy idea maybe, but this year… First Friday’s will be remembered in a tag (until the idea grows old anyway). There is a bit of improvement needed here so there hasn’t been any glueing, but it is 85% there! Handwriting is something that I wish I had practiced more during my lifetime… possibly the problem was those pages and pages of letters required every night in the third grade… not much fun! Maybe “someone” has some stamps that can be used to stamp that month??!! All of the materials must have been a “find” of the day. The “E” is the logo from the card of Christopher Elbow Artisan Chocolates and the “BE who you are” is from the business card of Brenda Eslinger of BE at Restoration Emporium.

Tucked inside the vintage flower is a charm honoring friends… what would First Friday be without friends? … no fun at all! The flower, the charm and the crystals were from Re-Runs vintage apparel.

Good JuJu was where the hearts were scored. They were nice and shiny before I used the clorox and vinegar technique on them. Rust is good so all of the shiny parts… the hearts, charm and crystals, got “the treatment”. The ribbons and crocheted “snowflakes” were from Bottoms Up Antique Market… the gallery space is one of my favorites and I don’t even know her name… can’t remember everything, but next FF it will be written down!
