Treasures!

Saturday morning, and I'm awake extra early today, but that's how it is some times.  After much tossing and turning, I decided to head out to the local park, see what I could come up with -- at the same time, get a daily walk in.  Nothing much in the way of 'eventful' happens that early in the park, however.

When I got home, my son was up, awake, semi alert -- early on a Saturday for him, because its 50% off everything day at Goodwill!   Off we go, looking to find any kind of treasures -- we ended up hitting 3 different Goodwill stores, spent a total of just under $30 and got 24 treasures!  A very good shopping trip!

Can't wait to post pictures of the "after" as we experiment with different techniques.  There's something about using your creative side that makes you feel alive. :)  And if things don't work the way we plan, we're not out a lot of money.

One of the things I found that seems to fit into the whole southwest theme here in the Valley of the Sun is this jug with leather on it.  I'm assuming its deer hide, as there are small places where there are tufts of hair still attached.  The only marking on the bottom is "cy"  and while its not an old piece, it seems to have been made in the old style, and that works for me as well.
