Flea Market

What a great day for a flea market!  Checked the weather forecast and it said the storms weren't moving through until later in the day, so off we went!

The hubby wanted to look for some tools to replace missing pieces so he was happy to take me!  And he was able to find what he wanted, so it was a good day for both of us!

Here is what was found today.  The hubby bought this, yep, a toolbox and it's for me!  Now my hammer, screwdrivers and wrenches have a home other than my kitchen junk drawer!  And it's the industrial colors I love, he did good!

Another toothpick holder.  It has a really nice pattern on it:

This is a beautiful Heisey sugar bowl, it just sparkles!

A paint by number magazine rack:

Four paint by numbers, not the best of shape but cheap enough.  And I love the message on the backs.  I've seen worse conditions, too.

A year later, Pete did these:

Here is another industrial box, this one is for slides.

Came with the boxes, 8 of them have slides in them, must go through and look at them all, the other four boxes are empty.  Makes a great display.

And I did a bundle!!  The slide box above and these two wall hangings.  I've seen these and they are made by the same manufacturer as my wall shadow box.  They are the perfect size for hanging on each side of your shelf.  Remember, I had two small gravel art pictures on each side of it and these are so much better! 

We also came home with a shoo fly pie and 2 whoopie pies!

After all that, these came in the mail:

Thrift Finds!

I haven't had the chance to show all the stuff I've been bringing home but I have three items that I must share!

First, I've seen cake savers before but I found this nifty pie saver!  

I love using my vintage stuff so this was perfect for cookies for this weekend!

This next item intrigued me and I had to have it.

It's called a Baja case by Barnett & Jaffe.

It's a three drawer slide holder.  

It's in amazing condition!  All the tabs are with it.

The drawers are Bakelite.

Each drawer is numbered along the sides to show the number of slides in the drawer.

This was just an added bonus:

A Vera Neumann scarf!

And it was only $1.00!
