After a day at the flea market I like to take a picture of my purchases all together, as sort of a time capsule of the day. I usually find that everything sort of coordinates or has a theme...one day buttons might catch my eye, another day it might be postcards. Here are a few of my finds from Friday...this metal muzzle for a mule...
I thought this could hang on the wall filled with stuff in my studio, or go outside and I could line it with peat moss and put a blooming, trailing flower in it. That would look nice on the deck or patio ($5.00). Vintage postcards with roses, 50 cents. This Pilot Log Book from 1947 was $2.00...
The pearls were $1.00, and the rhinestone buckles 50 cents. Door hardware $2.00 each...
I found this box from Kirven's Department store, and paid $2.00, only because it was my grandmothers favorite store (and she worked there in the 1950's), and I never see anything with Kirvens on it....pink plastic thimble 25 cents.
I also got this architectural piece, and this metal industrial light cover (which I will use as a cloche), and 4 different styles of the letter "S".
Those are my deals of the day...raw materials...stuff to make other stuff with...that's always my theme!
