Flea Market Finds

Last weekend D and I got up early {for me, at least} and we headed to the Belle Clair Flea Market. We got there close to start time and we braved the crowds. It was my first ever flea market experience and it was pretty much what I expected. There were people everywhere, a lot of junk, and some diamonds in the rough! It brought back many memories of the numerous craft fairs my mom, maw maw, and I attended in my younger years. I hated those things, but I loved the time with those ladies. Who would've thought years later I'd be right back at the place I hated most. Go figure!

I say it over and over, but David always goes with the flow and is my right hand man. He's the best and I'm so thankful to have a husband who's along for the ride!

Some of the advertising boasted that this event would have over 700 vendors and I believe it! There were booths inside all of the different rooms and in different places outside as well! I only snapped a couple of phone pics at first, so you know the drill, please excuse the quality.

I spotted many things that I would've like to make mine, such as these plates:

But in the end I came home with very little. I first spotted these little tea towels and silver ice bucket as soon as we walked up. For less than $10 I made both of them mine on the spot. Done and done!

My last score was this brass set of bathroom accessories, and while you may be thinking she's nuts, I had/have a plan. I really only wanted the trashcan to use as a planter but the lady insisted I take the whole shebang! I know I won't get use out of the others but maybe someone might like them in a summer garage sale?



On our way home, we made a few other pit stops and I would've loved to make this canister set and bamboo pair my own. Looking at the photos again, I'm thinking I may go back! I see that look you're giving me...I may have a slight {albeit innocent} addiction to fabulous finds.

What's a girl to do? ; )

Enjoy your weekends, friends. I'm r-e-a-d-y for my week off, yesiree!
