My source for Inspiration~ well one of them!!!!

Hi everyone!! Coming off of a great weekend~We went to my favorite store and one of my main sources for inspiration.  I revealed to you in my last blog post my thing was antique hardware~from door knobs, to drawer pulls, to hinges, back plates ~ you get the picture.  Here is where we went, the store has changed but it is still full of inspiration~in fact it is everywhere you look!!!


I love getting a copy of their catalog~great patterns and ideas for scrapbook pages and altered art!!!


I loved this pattern and plan a scrapbooking page after it!! The pictures I'm showing are out of the catalog.


I saw these tables in the store and they are just magnificent as they are in the catalog.  The store clerk told me they are an exact replica of a 5th-century ionic capital.  Wow~it looks authentic to me!!!


Loved how the old photo's were arranged!!


Love the wire baskets!!!


And so excited I found another "5" for my collection ~ I really feel like I got two for one because I'm planning on using the box also!!!!


I hope you enjoyed this post.  Catalogs are great sources of inspiration for your art and scrapbooking.  I love getting catalogs when I go to my favorite stores!!! Have a great day and I'll see you tomorrow for Try It Tuesday!!!

  8. Great catalogs, I have ordered them before! I'm a hardware junkie also, too often than anyone in my family will admit I have actually pulled over and took the knobs off of dresses waiting at the curb for pick up, probably shouldn't admit that but it's true! I actually kept screwdrivers in my truck just to do this! Love Penny Scrap-aholic.blogspot.com P.S> I once went in an old shack that had old dynamite in it just to remove the glass door knobs off a bunch of old doors! Yeah dumb I know, but I was younger then, and thought I was invincible! (I probably should scrapbook that! LOL)
