Flea Treasures

Lately I've been lucky at the flea markets, thrift store and antique shops. The more cool stuff I find the more addicted to it I'm becoming. It's just soooo much fun!



I stopped at my favorite antique store in Missouri on the way home from Arizona and I found the prettiest sugar bowl with pink flowers that almost matches the teapot form an earlier post, it was only $3. It's old and crazed but just the way I like it...no chips at all. A pink floral cup for $1, a green glass knob for $3, a pretty linen tablecloth with pink flowers for $5.


I had to grab the mason jar just because it had a star on it.



Then that following Saturday was the big flea market at the fairgrounds. I love this little dress/slip/camisole. It's in excellent condition with it's hand crocheted lace...$10!!! To me that's a great deal because I know how much time it takes to crochet with the fine thread. A huge long piece of crochet lace and a smaller piece. A white pitcher, pretty blue compote, an apothecary jar and another sugar bowl with roses that is hard to see....too much sun and bad angle.



Then last Friday I dragged my husband to a farm flea market. I found a sweet little quadruple plated creamer and sugar bowl and 2 old school books for $1 each!!!

This shabby old mirror. I want to paint it white, the finish is so rough...he says leave it...we'll see....

And I saved my favorite for last!!!

This wrought iron violet stand...it was $15! I grabbed it so quick. It's about 4' tall although it's hard to tell here...I placed my violets on it and I just love it!!!


I have a place in mind for all of this stuff...I don't buy it unless I have an idea of what I'll do with it...sooner or later I'll show you gals where these things are...but I did find a good place for the books, silver and violet stand so far....

Thanks for stopping by!
