Are you gathering up the good stuff?

Good Stuff button

Are you ready to show off your creations?  I'll have the link party ready Sunday morning and you can add your blog to it anytime through Monday evening.

Your project can be ANYTHING at all, where you have broken free of the instinct to hang on to your best supplies and actually used them.

Sewing, collage, a decorative item for your home.  Anything at all that includes bits of your favorite things.

Please make sure you link to the POST that features the item, not just to your blog.

  And please do mention the challenge and my blog address so that others can find the list of participants and visit us all.

Your post can be from the past, or a new one.  If its an older post, please edit it to add the link back to the party.

As hard as it is to part with the besties, they sure elevate anything you make. I turned these little vintage postal bags into something I really love by adding my favorite things to them.

I'm hoping to make something special tonight just for the party too. There are some supplies I have been eyeing….  its time to delve in and enjoy them!

  The postal bags, and some ephemera books (all dripping with the good stuff!) have been added to my Boutique.IMG_9092

And don't forget, you can win a bundle of my besties by leaving a comment.

Mrs. Staggs will be having a giveaway on her blog too.  The challenge was her idea.  Thanks, Lena!!

  1. I’m still a hoarder.Always dreaming but so hard to part with my pretties.I’m getting better though with letting some go and actually using my bits and pieces.Warm Blessings!~Amy

  2. I wish I could dig through all my goodies today! Really inspired to make something from them after seeing your pictures. I can’t wait for your party and for a chance to win your goodies….

  3. I may just take the plunge and at least look through some besties ( tehehe, almost typed beasties ) tomorrow when the dogs are out of the house and I can be sure nobody disturbs me. And if I feel very brave…………. who knows what might happen.

  4. You are so clever and talented!
    Funny you should post this topic. I just found my bronze ormolu in the garage and made a blog post about it! I plan on using some of it for my new headboard and footboard, perhaps some to make a trumeau mirror?
    The ormolu is so special I would hate to use it in the wrong craft and make it look bad so the task is a bit intimidating!

  5. I admit, I am struggling with this challenge. I get out the good stuff, admire it, and then store it away again. However, I am going to rise to this challenge. xxoo Valarie

  6. I can’t even get to my good stuff yet. Am trying to get a craft room started- we’ll see how far I ! Am looking forward
    to seeing all the good stuff posts though!

  7. Can’t wait to see, Karla. I planned to make myself a necklace. Well, I have been doing some international swaps and I did give away the good stuff but I haven’t made anything (except for creatively decorating the packages). It is giving me a lot of pleasure right now. Just don’t have the energy to create much beyond that. Perhaps I will take pictures of the envelopes and boxes! Or maybe I will make myself that necklace!
    Great idea…just great!
    Hugs,
    Suz

  8. This was a wonderful challenge! I love what you’ve made. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who hoards this stuff we have to buy!
