Treasure Hunting

I just returned from a short holiday at my sister's in Edmonton.  The drive was long but beautiful scenery and wildlife driving through Jasper National Park.


Knowing how much I love finding used treasures, my sister planned out a whole week's agenda of second hand shopping for my visit - garage sales, antique malls, re-use centre, thrift stores and a flea market. She had found some great stuff for me before I got there and we found all kinds of wonderful things in our search, too.


Lots of baubles and beads for mosaics.



Old books, music, newspapers, and atlases for mixed media


A vintage RC Cola box for my art supplies


And an antique baker's loaf pan for a commercial oven for more art supplies!


My sis had also picked up a couple of golf clubs over the past two years for rentals on our golf course (under development).   We had a very full car coming home!
