a visit to the flea

Nathan and I went to a local flea market today to hunt for some treasures. We have our Day Be4 Vintage and Handmade Market coming up and we are still shopping and getting ready for our booth.

This was an awesome weekend for vintage finds..we have been primarily looking for smalls, mainly due to a modest budget for a large space!

There are a lot of hours worth of crafty fun on this table..but first a good washing is in order ;)

Yard sale lovin..

I would have to say that yesterday's yard sale shopping was a success. Lots of goodies made their way home with me, and I managed to save enough to make today's Flea market trip with Nathan a little freer budget wise.

here's what I found..

A vintage metal shelf, 2 interestingly shaped jars, a bud vase and a fluted, blown glass compote in the back, off to the sides are a pair of  rose wall decor to the right, and on the left a wonderful blown glass and chippy rusted lid

3 tops for me, and 3 handmade cafe curtains..Love the little roses!

2 platters (the rose will go into my personal collection) and a milk glass piece, I'm not entirely sure what it is, the underside is etched in a larger pattern, but I like the way it looks like this, and am going to find a hurricane to fit it so i can put a candle on it :)

a mini fireking bowl and some bling for jars and bottles a'la Fox Hollow 

Vintage Anchor Hocking soup bowls in the Homestead pattern, set of 6 (well, 7 but one was damaged so..6 lol)

Did you find any good yard sales? Have a good thrift day? I would love to hear about it!
