Flea Market Finds

Hubby surprised me with not one, but TWO flea markets on Memorial Day! 

First one we went to was a bummer.  Not much vintage stuff at all and it only took an hour to go through but I did find one item.  So worth the trip!

This is pretty awesome, not one we've ever seen before and within our PBN price range!  I must teach the hubby how to negotiate prices though!

Onto the second one and this one was wild and oh so much fun!  Packed full of vendors, just the way I like it.

First beauty I found!

A wire donkey letter holder.  Isn't it cute?

Then came this:

This is a planter but I will find something to put in it around the holidays.

Best part is that it is a Holt Howard piece!

It is in nice condition except for the paint loss and I just might paint it in since I'm going to keep it for myself.  It was so cheap I just couldn't pass it by.  I thought it was just a sweet looking piece.

We found one Pez dispenser, not a vintage one but one we didn't have:

And one last thing, another paint by number!

Again, this is one that really needed cleaning!  I took the photo of this before I cleaned it and when I did, the scratch along the side all but disappeared!  It's a sharp looking ship, if I must say so myself!

We haven't had a whole lot of sun lately so this was a really nice day!  Full of fun and sun!

On the thrift road again!

I went out thrift shopping yesterday and just wasn't feeling all that great. You could tell because I think I put more items back than I actually purchased. I did come home with two pairs of screw-on rhinestone earrings that are just lovely!
And these oh so retro plastic plates! Just look at those retro colors!

I got 3 of each color!

Now, this was one I put back. I thought about it all night (sick, huh) and went back for it today.

Now, the question is, what is it? LOL! It's all wire around the edge and that's a plate or dish in the center! The wire is flexible so you can push it down so it lays flat or pull up on the wire so it's more of a bowl shape.

I even wondered if it was a very elaborate plate holder for the wall, but the feet on the bottom stick out too far for that. Any ideas?

This is kinda cute, don't you think? If it was there yesterday, I missed it. Not really sure what made me pick this up, but I did and just look what I found on the back!

Be still my pounding heart! The best part is the price, just take a guess at what I paid for it! The only thing I can find wrong with this is, the candles are not complete. Look closer, there's only part of each candle.
