art therapy or retail therapy?

I admit it. Today I visited a few salvage, antique and junk shops instead of attacking the cumbersome task I alluded to in this morning’s post. I have my own kind of ‘retail therapy’ that involves spending no more than $25.00 and has nothing to do with clothes, pocketbooks or shoes (see a few of my treasures in the picture below). I scored lots of fun things for my mixed media stash and it went a long way towards a much needed shift in energy and attitude.
Vintage bits, bobbins, tin tops and such? $25.00.
New attitude for a new day? Priceless.
Thanks to all for the healing hugs and positive energy. If the universe is kind I will meet you here tomorrow with a cheerful, recycled point of view!
