Vintage Finds

I am the Bead Hunter....and today the hunt was productive.

First a little background info....I have a special love affair with transit tokens.  Odd, especially considering I grew up in a place without any public transportation.  Then again, maybe this is why I am so enamored with transportation artifacts, like tokens.  But I digress.

Today, I found a small trinket box at an antique mall with a dozen CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) fare tokens in it.  Score!  I purchased a few, and like all amazing finds, will probably sit on the edge of my workbench until it screams to me, "Make me into this!"

I also came across two vintage necklaces with really interesting beads.  I am going to disassemble the necklaces, clean the beads and get them ready for my Etsy shop.  I hope you like teal blue - hint ~ hint.
