Flea Market Finds

Happy wednesday! The sun is finally shining and the sky is blue! Ahhhh..... just what I needed! Thank you Lord! :)

I have lately been suffering from the remodeling blues and needed some sort of creative outlet! However, my craft room is currently buried under all of our furniture and boxes of things from the rooms we are remodeling. :( So, instead I was able to carve out some time in the past couple weeks to do some thrifting. I feel blessed to live in the area I do. We have A LOT of great antique malls, thrift stores, and flea markets! :) :)

Also, if you notice - my pictures are bigger! yay! I hope to work on my editing skills soon to get my pictures to look even better but for now I'm liking the new look! Cindy over at My Romantic Home posted a link on a great (and simple!) tutorial about enlarging your pictures. Click here to see it.

So without further ado..........

most of this stuff is from a local thrift store. (Share & Care in Berlin for those of you who are familiar with the area.) the birdhouse display is a hand-me-down from my grandma. isn't it great? the linen & lace cloth napkins I got at a local antique mall. they were half price!! $2.00 for a set of seven!!

tea cups for 25 cents each.

$1.00 each for the vase and metal bin.


here is the cute little wagon I got at the antique mall. I just thought it was too adorable to pass up. this was my splurge at $12.00. Not to shabby if I do say so myself! I'm thinking of planting flowers in it this spring/summer.


This week I am linking up with My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

  1. Great finds! I've been wanting to hit up some antique malls, but I really don't want to take the boys - they aren't suited for leasure shopping. :) Actually I haven't really been to many - where are the good ones around here? Hope everything is coming along smoothly!

  13. You found some great stuff, but I am especially in love with that little plate. I have been collecting that pattern but it's been awhile since I found any. I have several pieces so far. I just love it!
