With a lack of daylight after sports this week I haven't been able to take any decent photos to use in a post. I didn't want that to hinder me any further from posting so I just snapped some tonight. I haven't had a flea market review for awhile so I thought I'd share my latest and greatest. This old Structo truck is adorable even though the towing mechanism on the back is long gone. I love the tires.
I also found a great vendor that had a ton of Christmas ornaments out. I will freely admit it, I'm a fussy vintage ornament girl. Any old ones won't do. I hand pick them out with no real criteria. I just know the ones that I want when I see them. Was that clear as mud?
I like where this is going...a fun Christmas display for sure this year.
Does anyone else keep Christmas ornaments out all year long {Colleen}? Since I'm always looking for them I've been storing the ones I've bought so far this year in this glass canister.
Why is there a doll leg in there? It's the topper to my table top feather tree. Turned upside down it's the sweetest accent to a tree.
I couldn't resist this old turquoise metal box. The handle is really neat and the closure works great.
I will be on the PROWL for more of these tiny metal spools. Apparently they had solder on them previously. They are about 2x2 inches. I could use 100 more of these.
Finally, my favorite latest, an old chipped up doll bed.
Um.......what kind of crazy already has a doll mattress that fits the bed exactly? ME!!!!!!
