hello show & tell friends! I was out on a "junking journey" this past weekend and saw some fabulous flea market goodies! I found many items for patinaWHITE and the opening of my summer cottage plus some treats for myself! please join me as I give you a little peek at the grand experience...
vintage african trade beads {below} always catch my eye! probably because they are often seen in a frosty vintage aqua! there were rows & rows on this table!
have you ever? nope, me either! these fabulous very old raised relief borders {below} were already sold when I spotted them...the dealer was nice enough to let me snap a picture to appreciate them later! WoW!
be still my heart! a box loaded with every possible bit and piece of junk jewelry {below}....come and get me in the morning...I'll still be digging!
this cupboard {below} stopped me in my tracks! I just about ran over and kissed it! but not such a good idea on old painted wood! seriously though...I adored it. after stalking the booth for the entire morning I decided it would make a GRAND addition to my next event...I do believe that my chiropractor will thank me for keeping him in business after loading it!
rust runneth thru my veins...{above} a trailer filled with chippy white architectural elements, rusty implements...treasures galore...can I move in?
these packs of vintage favors {below} were so darn cute! I was going to go back and deliberate on them and it slipped my mind! at least I can admire them here!
tidy stacks of vintage postcards were waiting to be admired {below}...silly, serious..sentimental...pretty well anything your heart desires!
the earthy and natural colors of this vintage victorian photo album were so very very lovely...{below}
FaDed GLoRieS...another victorian album {below} aged velvet...embossed roses! I had to practice such restraint!
boxes of buttons to me is like finding a treasure chest! I can dig for hours in boxes of trinkets! and I do believe I did so on this occasion!
the sweetest fellow had this album {below} of neatly organized chromo lithos from an 1800's book. the colors and images were AmAziNg!
there were so many fantastic things to take in! I covered alot of ground in two days and met some fun and friendly vendors! it's always exciting to dust myself off after a long minn. winter and take in a couple days of flea market mania! and the weather was GORGEOUS too! with that...I will conclude this junking journey...thanks for touring along with me!
