Springtime at the Flea


Springtime weather has finally arrived in the midwest and with warmer weather comes the flea markets. I thought I'd share a few of this past weekend sites.


Mother Nature & Father Time always create the best distressed finishes.

I feel like I should know exactly what she is, but I don't.
There's always nice framed art there.
Then there were these creepy babies.
Cool old store display pieces.
Old lamps that have seen better days.
I can't pass up the opportunity to take a photo of a neat old purse.

Pretty painted glass shades.

Play kitchen appliances.

What a sharp looking old piece of luggage.
Julia was there.
  And Mel too.
  A crude little Gypsy fellow.
 Someday I'd like to restore an old trunk.
 I bet some fun times have been had on this bike!
 What regal chairs!
 A clever sign, but I didn't see any ladies flocking there to buy the new models.
 A floral dog :)
 Old glassware and an old fan with super shiny brass blades.
I told myself last year if I lost enough weight I'd buy one of these pretty dresses. Hmmm... 15 pounds to go. It seems achievable. Wish me luck!

Please keep the good folks in Boston in your thoughts and prayers tonight and in the coming days and weeks, as another city tries to heal from a senseless tragedy.

Thanks for stopping by :)
