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:

Latest Finds!

I went to my favorite thrift shop today.  What fun this place is!  Let me show you what I found!

I'm in love with bottle brush trees and found this one is a bag mixed with other items.  I really only wanted the one item but the tree next to it was neater than I had thought, so it's a keeper, too.  The tree basket seems to be homemade.  The basket appears to be balsam wood and then gold cording is lining the inside handle and matches the hanger.  The bag cost me $1.00 so they seem worth it!  The other item is a metal truck and I just love it!  Again, only one dollar!  It happens to be a pencil sharpener.  I want to find a tiny little person to drive it.

 I just loved the look of these old nail boxes!  I need to do my research on them but if nothing else, they'll make an awesome display!

 The hubby purchased this heart shaped bowl!  It is perfect for our upcoming Valentine's Day party!

 This is a plain and simple bowl by Hazel Atlas.  I'm going to make a flower cluster orb for it and use vintage papers.

 This is an amazing little thing!  I think it's a master salt.  What is great are the feet on it!

 Look closely!  That is a man's face!  Maybe a Viking? Pssst, I only paid .50 cents for it.

 Wonderful Fry custard cups!

 This is the best thing yet.  A souvenir cup or toothpick holder.  Great gold accents with ruby dots.  Souvenir of Hershey Park, PA.  It's just beautiful and I only paid $2.00 for it!  

 Skirt measuring devices.

 A metal two-sided Chinese checker board and checkers/chess board.

 Slide a metal bar and you can see cups in it to store the marbles and checkers (not included).  BUT, it's an older lithograph piece made by Ohio Art!

I sure wish this thrift shop was a lot closer to me!

Vintage Finds

It's about time I got to this!  I'm going to show you what I came home with from my last trip.  I have a few days worth of items to show you!

This is a really cute bunny with a thermometer in the ears!  I have a feeling the tail used to be fuzzy and may have changed with the temperatures. 

LOL, I love the paint job on these!  Check out the mouth on the middle one and the eye on the one on the right.

I just liked the look of this.  It's Daisy Duck, right?  Shame it's only one of the pair, but I couldn't resist it.

I'm thinking this is a noodle cutter.  It sure is one heavy piece and would look awesome in an old primitive dough bowl (hint, hint, Country).

Pretty vases!  Both have a squirrel on the branch.

Salt and pepper shakers.

Souvenir glass pipe.

Another item that I'm not sure what it is.  It's way too big to be an egg cup.  I'm thinking it's a double master salt.  If anyone knows for sure, please tell me!

Scottie dog spoon holder.

Another piece of souvenir glass.  This one has such a pretty design to it.

Stay tuned!  More to come!
