Flea Market Finds

Here's some of the treasures I picked up at the flea market last week....Everything in this 1st photo...except the lamp...was $1 each! Not all were found at the same booth either. I don't know why I got so lucky because that's never happened before. The lamp was under $10. I saw it before I walked into the booth, grabbed it and never set it down until it went in the car. Even the mirror was $1...the price tag is still on it....

I love the roses on the lamp! I've been looking for just the right old lamp to sit on a beautiful and very old table that was my mothers which sits between 2 neat old chairs that still have their original upolstery. I found them in Cody, WY a couple of years ago. Now the hard part...to find the right lampshade.

To me the acorn finial is worth what the lamp cost alone!

Love these old metal chairs. I like the look of this one well enough I'm not so sure I'll let the husband paint it.

Ahhh yes, another pully to add to the pullys that I've been collecting for years. I've never seen one like this. My husband says there was one in the old barn when we sold the old place...if I had known.....
This was the first thing I found and my husband offered to buy it for me...what a nice guy!

Crochet Flowers and Hangers

I should be working but I'm not......

It seems these little crochet flowers are just too much fun to make.... I can't stop!

I've crocheted more hanger covers but only have 2 more sewn on so far. Now....off to get the rest of them finished. Work? ...it's the weekend...I should be able to take a day off to play!

Chippy White Paint

It seems I'm surrounding myself more and more with chippy white painted things. It used to be weathered red barn wood and I still like that but the white looks good anywhere. Here are a few things around the house and yard that are weathered white paint....

Star made by a local craftsman....

Old barn pulley painted white and weathered....

A cool wall pocket made by the same local crafts man, I haven't found the right place to hang this yet...

The old fence on our front porch that's tied to the post and an old cream can....

The wood on the very old turkey house...my dad would say it needs paint but I kind of like it!

Thank you Faded Charm!

Treasure Box

A treasure box from one of my favorite Etsy shops Exhuberant Housewifery filled with tatting and crochet lace, old petticoat lace, buttons.....

All the pretty little treasures just waiting to be opened....

Love that tatting, mop buttons and a little carved mop bird pin, glass pearl beads fill an old typewriter ribbon tin, wonderful rhinestone trim. This is one of the best treasure boxes! Thanks Stephanie!

White Wednesday

A few shots of some of my white treasures around my sewing room for White Wednesday.....

A vintage fluffy petticoat. There are oodless and oodless of ruffles and satin!

Don't you just love all of those ruffles!!!

Vintage Mother of Pearl bead necklace.......

A pretty little and very old chocolate box in beautiful condition. I love lilacs, this is one of my favorite things! It resembles birch bark in the background...makes it even better!

And a few white hydrangeas from my yard. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you Faded Charm!
