Today I went treasure hunting at a small flea market in Gettsville, not too far from my home.
I met up with my girlfriend visiting from CA, she and I spent most of our summers together as kids.
We got to the flea market early so we wouldn't miss out on too much.
I know I didn't!
LOOK AT THE LOOT!
It is hard to choose what my favorite is.
I found these vintage wooden type blocks.
I was only going to buy my favorite #'s and letters, but I took a chance and asked how much for all?
SOLD!
(run away before she figures out how much I probably should have paid)
A small bag of assorted jewelery for making tags.
A silver ice bucket.
BUTTONS, BUTTONS, LOTS OF BUTTONS
Two tins FULL of buttons.
I will be sorting tonight during movie night.
Not one
but
TWO white iron urns!
OH YEAH HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!!!!
Vintage English ironstone pitcher.
Great colors on a vintage quilt from one of my favorite vendors and a good friend of mine.
I also found a crocheted edge runner and a chippy header trim that will make a great shelf.
I think my girlfriend had fun too, even though she has to worry about breakage and shipping, she did manage to find a pretty English rose teacup and saucer to take home.
I am glad we went early because it left the rest of the day to lounge by the pool.
I hope you are having a great day too!
I love your treasures!!!!! What a wonderful haul ~ days like that make your heart sing :) xxoo, Dawn

PS....Love the iron urns I have one and I aged it! Buy chipping it up and sanding it as well, pour some vinegar on the piece lay it in your flower beds moist wet dirt cover it with plastic bags anchoring it to the ground leaving very little air to escape, with in a couple of days you have rust everywhere on it making it a perfectly charming antiqued looking piece.
Awesome finds! Love the iron planters and the block letters too.
