As altered artists, collectors, and curious beings we are always on
the look out for fun and unique materials to create our Embellishment and Goody Packs with. We believe the best part of these offerings is the fact that like prized found objects, they are limited in quantity. Treat yourself to our unusual assortments of altered art goodies and always feel free to send us photos of your creations for the possibility to win cool prizes.

NEW Black and Cream Mixed Media Bundle $12.25
I'm in love with this random bundle and assure you I've kept plenty of these pretties for myself. But this one is for you. Included is one of the glass rings I've been stocking up on for the past few years, a rusty old spigot turn and another weirdo rusty item with a screw in it, bits of lovely lace and ribbon, an antique typewriter key (I'm obsessed with these as you may very well know), buttons, beads, etc. How fabulous this all would look in a book or assemblage!

NEW Secrets of the Sea Mixed Media Bundle $9.95
I've been harassed a bit lately with people asking "why do you create so many of those gorgeous one of a kind bundles only for sewing!?" I don't know why I didn't create many of them before, but here you go! I envision this sweet pile of goodness being made into a secret box with double doors (LOVE the locking piece included and the tattered, coffee-stained lace the most). But of course you can make whatever you wish! (I want to see pictures though if you care to share). see it bundled here

NEW Vintage Buckle and Antique Button Collection $9.95
Era-wise, this is a random bundle. I think the pretty blue buckle is from the 70s (like me!), the metal buttons from the very early 1900s and the cloth covered buttons mostly from the 40s. These will come in a wonky little plastic box, wrapped in a swatch of pretty fabric.

NEW Love in a French Red Garden Mixed Media Bundle $8.95
I can't help but crack myself up sometimes. Last night I took all of the photos and loaded them up, titling things before saving the description writing for today. It was about 2 AM when I picked this dorky name... but I shall leave it as 4 hours of sleep does not lend itself well to more creative writing. There are flowers: silk, bead, vintage trim, metal brad. There is a heart. There are birds -- or at least one. Look at that precious bird bead! I wish I had 50 of them.

NEW Simple Blue Bundle $5.25
Blue pod beads of some sort, a rusty old key, a very tarnished metal "Simplify" tag, blue beads of glass and stone, etc., and pretty blue fibers make up this wee bundle. How lovely it will be in your altered art or mixed media project. see detail here

NEW Japanese Embellishment Bundle $5.95
This sweet Asian embellishment bundle comes with a lovely Japanese knot embellishment, a large coin, an Asian charm with loops on either side and a pretty bead with flower hanging bits (I don't know what it's called, but it's pretty). These would be so great in altered or handmade books, assemblages or any other altered or mixed media art.

NEW Five Dollar Grab Bag $5.00
This is a destash of sorts, but a super fun one and one that is well worth the small price. Inside these bundles you will find things such as rusty gears (which I typically sell for $2 each), bundles of photo slides (also worth $2), game pieces, beads, buttons, coins, bamboo tile beads, chipboard pieces, etc.. These would be super fun to use in altered books or art journals (or covers), jewelry, assemblages or maybe even on art dolls.

NEW Silver Charms and Black Beads $3.25
The beads (both the metal ones and the black glassy stone ones) are quite old, as are the frame-like charms. The harp is not quite so old, but sweet none the ness. How pretty these will be in a piece of jewelry or art!

NEW Buddha's Bundle: Papers, Coins and Charms $8.00

How gorgeous they will be in your art! see detail of buddha embellishment here

NEW Secretly Purple $3.50
When I see old keys, I think of secrets for some reason. This bundle has a gorgeous, thick old key, beads in hues of purples and whites made of stone, glass and other substances. Pretty purplish fibers accompany it all, along with rusty metal swirly bit and a 1940s mother of pearl button... and some other pretties as displayed.

NEW Vintage Domino 12-Pack (with Dragons) $6.00
These, I am told, are old dominoes from the 1940s. I feel silly that I've never seen them with so many numbers before, but apparently that is just a special type and not a fluke as I initially wondered. :) Each pillow box contains a dozen lovely wooden dominoes with gorgeous little dragons on the backs. They are old, thus not in mint condition, but all are lovely and would be fun to use in assemblages or jewelry. (Only 10 in stock)

NEW Bone and Bamboo Bead Bundle $5.00/ea
Bone and bamboo are two of my favorite things so it only seemed nature to bundle these beauties together. In each bundle you will receive one super decorative carved bone bead, six small and two large carved cylindrical beads, a bone bead "disk" and smaller tube-like bone bead, plus 20+ hand carved bamboo beads. I want a necklace out of all of these!

Numbered Pocket Watch/Watchmaker Vials
I can't get enough of these numbered pocket watch/watch maker vials! I just love them! These are vintage, though nowhere near as old as the previous lot I posted from the 1800s. If you'd like a specific number, let me know and I'll see if I have it for you, or you can let me chose. Update: all 13s were sold within 15 minutes of posting these, sadly -- that is my favorite number too.

Large Hummingbird Charm $9.95
I am so in love with these little guys! They are larger than they looks though: just shy of 2.25 inches in width (from beak tip to tip of front wing) and 2.25 inches tall. They have a small hole for possible threading on the tip of the front wing as well as a small hook on the back of the right wing and another on the back of the tail. They would look gorgeous on the cover of a book, or as a piece of wonderful hummingbird jewelry, rusted or as is.

Miniature Birdcage Pendant $8.95
These tiny birdcages make perfect pendants on necklaces or wonderfully whimsical additions to your assemblages or other mixed media or altered art projects. The rusty metal birdcage measures 1.5" tall and has an opening door and movable perch.

Woman Cameos $4.00/ea.
I am not sure what these gorgeous Cameo Ladies are made from but they appear to be a resin or plastic of sorts rather than the traditional shell, agate or glass. Regardless of their lack of age, they are wonderfully fun and lovely indeed! These beauties measure 1.5" tall by almost 1.25" wide. Use in or on altered books or art journals, in assemblages or jewelry, or on any mixed media or altered art project for a delightful addition.
