Texas doesn’t know it’s December yet…which is a good thing. What I mean is, we’ve had amazing weather in the high 70’s. Breezy and warm, it doesn’t feel like Christmas could possibly be just a few weeks away, but it is.
At any rate, this warm weather made for the perfect day at Canton yesterday. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Canton, it is a world famous open air flea market which begins on the Friday before the first Monday of each month. It consists of 450 acres of stores, booths, tents, and tables of everything you can imagine.
Due to timing and circumstance yesterday I didn’t visit the “junk” section near the Civic Center which is where I love to scour for mixed media jewelry supplies like keys, watch parts, broken jewelry, etc. However, I did score some beautiful strands of beads for under $15 total. If you’ve never been to Canton, Texas for First Monday Trade Days, I encourage you to go. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen!

Thanks for liking my jewelry post. I also make jewelry and have too many beads 🙂
Haha! These days I do a lot more buying of supplies than I do actually making anything 🙂 I will be in the April issue of Jewelry Affaire if you’re familiar with that magazine.
I’m always fascinated by color. It’s truly a gift when artists glean a color palate from nature.
