Treasures!

My girls thought I was a little nuts.  They were willing to get up early and head out the door with me.  "We'll just humor her" I can imagine them saying to each other.  Three hours later they were singing my praises!  "Why didn't you tell us how amazing flea markets were?" is what they said when we climbed into the car.  
Rows and rows of vendors.  Fresh produce.  Antiques.  Clothes.  Kettle corn.
 Beautiful antique laces and silverware.
 The most adorable puppy!  (She wasn't for sale.)
 Vintage planter filled with Chicks n Hens.
 I bought a whole bag of peppers that we sliced and froze.  They are amazing marinated and grilled!
 Two of the planters came home with me!
 As did three pieces of vintage trim including this adorable ric rac.
 This sweet painting was only $1 so it is now living on my enclosed porch!
 Vintage post cards.  They are signed and post marked on the back.
 Maybe my most favorite find.  These vintage shakers will sit on a shelf in my kitchen.
 Beautiful glass basket!  It was a steal because the seller had dropped it and cracked the handle.  She was selling it for $1.  I snatched it right quick!
Isn't the color gorgeous?
An old copy of Tom Sawyer.
 I found two great wooden boxes.  I was looking for something to put my ribbon in as I organized it.  These are similar to the plastic boxes for floss, but they are wood!  And the seller only wanted $1 a piece.  These were my first finds (first booth I came to) and I would have been happy if this was all I found!
 This is the outside.
This shelf was also $1.  I plan to paint it with crackle medium then creamy white paint and hang it in my kitchen for those shakers I showed you above.

It was such a fun day!  I can't wait to go back!

Blessings & Hugs,
