What Happened to July?

I have pretty much spent the month of July at antique shows, spending way over my budget and forcing me to work overtime trying to get everything listed and hopefully sold.  I found some very unusual items, like this early butter stamp:

I bought way too much antique blue fabric--oh, now that really isn't possible, it is just that I should have saved the money for other things, but then I would never see more for years, so I had to.  

I made some things that I don't think will actually sell, but I indulged myself to just make a few things that I love--that Blue Italian tin is soooo me.

I have done up a few fall things, but it is so hard to do when it is so hot.  Predictably, I am just making more Christmas items.  The dress will be $98, the stockings $48.

And finally, here is a little primitive grouping of some pretty awesome antiques and some new papier mache numbers that I covered in old photos:
