shiny shiny silver

i love silver !!

most of my items i sell are comprised of silver !!

and most of my displays are silver....

my designs are all made from

recycled goods

so naturally

my displays have to also

be made of recycled materials

i use paint cans and lamp shades !!

old lamp bases

and a rockin' lazy susan

silver typewriter keys

old dictionaries

old sheet music !

there is nothing like the shine of

the silver on my displays

on a beautiful day !!

ive always been a sucker for silver !

magazine additction

i also have a magazine addiction.

way too many mags and

no time to read them.

i tend to store them up and

then spend a whole day reading them !!

looks like it's time for one of those days !!

silver hoarder ???

hello,

my name is jeanne

and i may just be a hoarder

well

not really,

but i do stash a lot

of stuff

i dont know what it is,

but there are certain things

that i collect,

and when i see them,

i just cant pass them by

even if i have boxes full

at home,

i still have this need

to buy more

perhaps i am

a hoarder


i have been watching
the show (hoarders)
lately

and although my house does NOT look like those

my storage room

er....basement

might

i spent 4 days cleaning/sorting/purging

i discovered

that i have enough silverware

to make jewelry

for quite a while.

this is my entry for silver sunday

this week

others have shown beautiful

silverware

but being a 'junker'

this is what i do with mine.

(although i do think i can take it off my shopping list

....... for now)

on a hunt for something to show you this week

silver sunday

i have joined the silver sunday

blog party

i opted out of the glittery items

and

decided to just go around my house

and snap pics of some

of the diverse shades of silver

in my many crazy collections

i collect old toys

plenty of old keys.......

match case

this is a charge card

from

i also love old office supplies

and old silver hardware on luggage
