WOYWW and why I need another book*

Welcome to Wednesday's Wonderful World of Workdesks,

Nothing much happening here today,
just a few useful bargain buys for your perusal ...


Cost = 50c @ op shop
4 plastic lettering stencils (just like we used at school!)
and 6 detailed Christmas stencils

and one book ... suitable for altering.
*(More about that later.)

Of course, in the hunt for the "suitable" book,
for just a few more dollars,
there was some collateral damage ...


The William Morris book
is brand new and full of beautiful colour pics.
And the Fabric Scrapping book has lots of lovely arty sewing ideas!

I'm off to see what everyone else is up to now.

    Oh wow, I'm in love with "Texture Techniques." Sounds interesting. BTW, my stencils were never plastic (grin). Happy WOYWW from # 3.

    Lucky you with the WM book - great pictures I bet. Of course, we always get side tracked when shopping.
    Don't forget to call in and check out my blog candy - it closes late tonight and I should be drawing tomorrow. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Neet 29

    I can honestly say I have never read "Fanny by Gaslight" I think it is good for the literary world that she is altered. The WM book and texture techniques look fabulous. You have an absolute knack of finding the best stuff.

    OF COURSE you need another book. I do too even though I have so many they stack on the floor in front of the bookcase now. Great bargain finds though! Happy playing!

    hmmm thats the thing, one intends to alter, and then it becomes a thing that needs to stay as it is... soemtimes you just have to alter it and forget you love it as it is...

    I love the thrift shops. The stencils sound interesting...will have to wait to see what you create with them.

    The rest seems like a good bargain as well.
