Sister, Strawberries, and Torso Tart

Stopped by the local Ye Olde Paintbox antique store last weekend in search of decoupage materials to use on my mannequin, who's been patiently waiting for a year in the garage to be transformed. Hit the jackpot with 30's, 40's, and 50's sheet music on sale 2/$1 that fit the bill.

Painted the decoullette and back of Miss M with gold paint then tore each cover page, along with the music sheets, into smaller sections so they could easily be attached.   Spent a couple of evenings after work gluing them on to Miss M.  She's now about 90% complete as she needs a finishing skirt or apron.  Should it be made of fringe, lace with glitter, or music sheets?  Or maybe pasties and a garter?  This weekend will be spraying her with luster clear coat and hopefully the right accouterments will pop into mind.

A quickie project created last weekend consists of a Dollar Tree plate and bowl along with  $1.79 clay planter to make a mini bird bath.

Today my fabulous sister Luna came to visit. We walked over to the Farmer's Market, which has grown significantly since the last time I was there.  Lots of veggies, baked goods, apple cider, dehydrated fruit and ice cream, and hot sauce.  The most popular item was flats of berries - people were waiting in a lengthy line as if their reward was a new iPhone or Barbra Streisand tickets, not a box of strawberries.

After the market, we hit Walmart then on to Lake Sacajawea as we assumed the Go 4th festivies would be in full force. Well, you know what they say about assuming!  Lots of vendors working on pre-set up but we found the food and sale tents would not be opening until July 2. 

Next stop was Sam's, who deemed Luna "hella cool" then back home where Jordan and Candy stopped by to say hi to Aunty Luna.  

Fun weekend so far!! July 4th coming up so looking forward to getting off early on Monday, holiday on Tuesday, then on vacation from July 7-14. No plans yet but it's going to be in the 90's so we will definitely be hitting the beach!🎆🏖🌞
