Flea Market Finds

Thursdays are the big day at one of the local markets. I always work a long day, so when an opportunity presents itself to get a Thursday off...I leap at the chance! This sterling pendant was the buy of the day! The seller had it marked super cheap and it is a fabulous piece! The same seller had these beauties! The amber one is a button that Donna spotted! And the other I thought would be pretty with a shawl. Fabulous day at the market with my lovely friend Donna . It was chilly but we had a blast, and met some great characters~ part of the fun at the market is the people you meet! Some great vintage fabric, now that I am sewing I keep an eye out for it! This great vintage toast holder that is now a home for all my loose desk papers. Just wanted to share some of the fab finds.

Flea Market Finds

Had a great day at the market on Thursday. This one haunted me after I walked away....I HAD to buy it just to see what was under all that DUST!!!Beautiful weather and lots of treasure trolling! Amazing what a little bit of soap and water will uncover!

Sunday is Market Day

I finally made it to the market in Lambertville this am with my good friend Michele. We got up with the birds and made it there early. It was packed with sellers and customers, but not really a super successful shopping day. Not a button to be found. That being said, I did find some unusual things today. Which I guess is a good thing! I did find some really pretty vintage photos. I fell in the love with the clothing these women are sporting. Talk about funky!!! I also came accross this big plastic bin full of wooden blocks, that are actually stamps. Now upon digging through I found some rather fun stamps. The girls from the Burlesque troop would enjoy them. A dollar each, I think this guy definetly did not know what he had in that box. He tried to change up the price on me at the last minute too. Despite not having any coffee yet I caught him trying to act like he was giving me "a deal"...I'll give them all to you for 15.00...... um. I only had 12. Nice try though, I may be blonde but I got straight A's in math..lol... Oh and do any of my dear readers know how to get these stamps to work? I tried using a stazon pad and it did not work, hopefully there is a way to get the images to transfer, they would make great greeting cards :) If not they look pretty cool displayed on the window ledge in the studio.

I also found this cool brooch which will be gracing one of my coats. It was a fun morning spent chatting with one of my oldest friends. Thanks again Michele, you're a doll.
