(Kim Klassen textures applied: sonnetmagic and pourvous)
I was a girl on a mission. There were two things on my list I was hoping to find on my trip this weekend to Scott Antique Market. A HUGE antique/flea market show held once a month in Atlanta. {They also have an Ohio venue as well.}
The french boy mannequin is something I bought in Florida last summer on vacation. He's not new. But he was fresh off the crate from France when I just happened thru the doors of this antique store I love to visit when we're in the Destin area of the Florida panhandle. These two delightful dealers also set up monthly at Scott's and will happily bring any merchandise up from Florida to Atlanta. If you're ever in the Destin area, and you love European antiques at FAIR PRICES, you need to visit Misty and Ann at Antiques on Holiday.
So what did I find? Those blue doors! They were on my "mission list"....!
(Kim Klassen textures: mayzee. Also applied a dry brush effect.)
About a year ago, which is how long it's been since I last attended Scott Antique Market show, I passed up a pair of doors quite similar to these. I've thought about them ever since. The same dealer was there again and this time I bought a pair from him.
I didn't find one of the things on my list, but I made up for any disappointment with some other wonderful finds! The silver trophy champagne bucket was one of the things I dragged home. It is engraved with a date of 1953 on it. YEAH! Something older than me! ha ha!
I'll share some of the other little treasures another time. Meanwhile, if you'd like to see the magic others have worked on their photos using Kim's textures, head over to Kim's to check out the other participants in today's Texture Tuesday party.
Right up my alley!! Love ALL of it ... the colors, the texture, the FINDS!! Serious drooling going on over here ; )

Your processing as always is spot on perfect! Now, where will the doors go? I love them!! Do they stay with "the boy" because they seem to be a great fit.

Great finds at the flea market! I used to live north of Atlanta and always wanted to go to that flea market but never did : (( Obviously, some great stuff there. Maybe I'll make it one day.
Love the addition of the textures to the photo.

What beautiful photos. Thanks for stopping by. I'm sad to say I've lived in GA all my life and I've only been to Scott's Antique Market 0 times. :-(
