What the Junk?

What a gorgeous day for a flea market shopping spree!  I've certainly gotten my Vitamin D quota these past two days, thanks to all the gorgeous sunshine! 

But, oh how those March winds did blow today.  But they did not muss her.  Alas, she was already sold, and for a pretty penny...$135.00. 

Take a seat.

Pretty little porcelain shoes.  No bigger than 2" in size.  But big in price, $15.00. 

And the cutest doll house.  Quite large and a deal at just $45.00.

Silverware shining in the sun.

Along with lots of rainbow colored bling.

These too, were a little out of my price rang today, as most prices began at $30.00.  Pity, great pieces.

And lots of gorgeous blooms were in rolling carts everywhere.  And what caught my cash as well as my eye?

This awesome pile of magazines from the early 1900's called, "The Camera".

Lots of cool vintage photo's.

and ads.

And I loved the covers. 

Vintage pot holders (the stitched one was very unusual), as well as a sweet little red and white creamer.

She was most unusual find.  Its all one piece, this hen/doily/chicks.  Vintage and someone, no doubt, put allot of work into this most unusual but very cute doily.  She has some stains and worn places, but overall, still in good shape. 

I'm such a sucker for gingham.  And was disappointed when this tray had that odd fern in the center.  So image my delight when it scrubbed right off!  Now, its perfect.

Little plaid creamer, old bank book and wee silver tray.  I think these all want to stay with me. 

A funky little table and chair set.  (And yes, that is my Christmas garland up in the back ground). 

But the steal of the day, this great quilt for $5.00.  Yes, $5.00.  I almost felt guilty. 

Almost.

Thanks for going to Canton with me and finding loads of cool "junk".

"I wannnnnnnaaaaa go tooooooooooo", I say with more whine than is really necessary. I've gotta find a buddy to hunt treasures with me. Wonder if I can talk my husband into moving to Texas. We don't need real jobs, right??!! :)

[Common Ground]

Of course the dress form is amazing but the two other items I'd beg for would be that yellow plaid sugar bowl and the floral quilt. They'd be right at home here. So glad you were able to go. I'd loved to have been with ya!
love ya,
Debra

Stopping by to say Happy Easter! You have great flea markets in Texas! I have to do more flea marketing! This spring I am going to do that, as soon as the weather is warmer. It is beautiful today, hope it continues!

You found all of that at Canton? The quilt was the prize of the day! I haven't been out there in about a year.......these pictures remind me that I need to make plans to head out there again. Spring time is a great time to go. Hope I'll be as lucky as you finding all of those treasures.

So many great finds, especially the flowery quilt. The picture of the beautiful costume jewelry is so gorgeous, but the price does seem a little steep. What a fun post!
