New Treasures

In my last post I told you I would share images of some of the fun treasures I acquired at The IDEA Store in Champaign, Illinois. Today’s the day!

Magazines sold by the pound

Upolstery sample book – 75 cents!

Maps, pages, lettering by the pound

In additional to fun things to use for art projects they also had functional items like these:

CD covers, stencils, small storage bottles

Then there were just so many odds & ends, old & new, to sort through!

old stamps, old watch piece, old compasses

electronic parts, assorted metal pieces

old wood (perhaps from disassembled desks?), old clothes pins, rust metal pieces

Slides, various dominoes, beads from jewelry, tacks, metal buttons, alphabet tags, glass tiles

I’m sure five artists could visit there and come away with five entirely different bags full of things.

So, who wants to go there for a field trip?
