Sunday morning was spent browsing the flea market for a few hours. Would you like to come along with me? Let's go!
This vendor had some spectacular hand painted pieces. Aren't they just lovely?
There were tables and tables full of vintage kitchen textiles. I love buying these for my garden tables because the colors are so cheerful.
I saw a lot of religious santos and other artifacts from France. This vendor imports containers full of great finds. Notice all the red SOLD tags? His things were selling like hot cakes!
And there was plenty of silver to be had. It's always good to look through them because you never know when you might find your initials engraved on a piece or two.
So Heather, what'd ya get? Well, since you asked.......
Sometimes it's better to buy the entire hat just for the millinery flowers.
Here's a silver plated handled basket, rhinestone buttons, a beaded coin purse, a vanity jar and a box of mother of pearl buttons and buckles.
Wallpaper, vintage linens and the most fabulous ribbon of all time! It's about 6" wide and a gorgeous pale mint color. I can't wait to use it on Easter baskets!
I bought quite a few children and baby cabinet photos and French calling card ephemera. Oh, and the creamy white ironstone bowl and floral platter underneath all this stuff.
I also picked up a cute pink sewing basket and a giant wicker basket full of wooden spools. Kind of interesting for a gal who doesn't sew.
There is hardly a wooden garden tote or tool box that I pass up. And the small pots were from the French dealer, I think I should give him a call and buy the rest. I'm in my gardening mode you know.
Ok gals, that's it for today. Thanks for coming along with me! Some of these goodies will end up on the website, some are going to the Barn Sale that starts next Friday and some are staying home with me. Now, I just need to decide how I'm going to divide all this up!
This week I'll be setting up my spot at the barn and if you've never been able to make it before....this is the month! I promise you won't be disappointed. I'm bringing out more items than ever before and the Present Past Collection space will be stuffed to the brim with all kind of new treasures! I promise to post some previews this week. The event starts Friday the 22nd through the 24th. Hope to see you there!
