Collage Play with Crowabout

Several weeks ago I came across the Collage Play with Crowabout group on Flickr and, finally got busy and participated. Once a week, Nancy Baumiller posts collage images for the group members to use in a collage for a weekly challenge. I had fun with this one and actually liked it so much in the end that I listed it on Etsy.

In other news, Daniel and I went to downtown Savannah today to try out a Middle Eastern Deli Daniel recently discovered (yummy!) and then we visited a couple of antique malls. Contrary to so many of you, I usually do not enjoy antiquing. Not because I don't like the things that are offered, but because I get so overwhelmed and never quite know if I am really getting a deal. So, much to our surprise, I found a little pale yellow vase, which looks great in our kitchen and an old German postcard - both of those for $2. Was that a deal or what?!?
I still have two awards to list that my kind blogger friends bestowed on me a few days ago and one more set of photos from our road trip. I'll get to that tomorrow or the day after. Plus, I am working on my artwork... Life is good! I hope for you as well!!
