Thrifting in Salem MA

I was out for the weekend, visiting friends in Salem MA. We went out walking on Sunday morning and found a delightful vintage fair…but I was still jonesing for a little bin-searching action. Thankfully, Salem did not disappoint! In an artsy alley way we somehow found our way to, there was a little cart set out where you could buy a bag of random items for $10. I had a blast filling mine up with treasures…and then discovered on the flight home that I didn’t have to wait til I got home to make a fun collage. I snapped some photos on my iPad and pulled them into Paper and even though they were photos snapped on a dark and bumpy plane ride, I think they turned out pretty well. And I’m so excited to have found a new way to create ephemera art when I’m on the go. I also think it will be a good way to plan things out ahead of time before I start cutting and gluing. Necessity is the mother of invention!

Time flies…
