Fun at the Flea market…

Today I finally had a chance to go to my local farmers market and flea market. I bought some fabulous vintage goodies , saw some interesting pieces, and enjoyed all the sights and sounds of the market.I have not linked up with Coloradolady for Vintage Thingie Thursday in awhile and I thought this would be a perfect post to share. She always has wonderful vintage goodies and fabulous links so stop over. And now for my special vintage finds.
Please click on Coloradolady's button on my right sidebar, I am having a problem linking up this evening. I apologize for he inconvenience.

Cute pooch planter!

Great wooden handle bag!

I love this Owl Lamp! I told the vendor if I came home with it my husband would have me committed!



Love the strawberry sugar bowl for a dollar!




Very fun I got the pair for a $1! It was the first time I have ever haggled a price!

I love adding sequins to my collages. I purchases a little craft box for $1 and I was lucky enough to have them come with!

I purchased 3 frames from this beautiful stand!

My grandmother swindled a little deal to get me these four cute kitties.

I love the adorable old men who sit outside the farmers market Barber shop!

I can't leave the market without getting the kiddies some colorful cake doughnuts!

Do you shop ETSY???

Things that make me happy, my little Etsy purchases.

I like wondering around Etsy admiring all the beautiful art and all of the pretty little shops. I especially like looking at the vintage goodies, pottery, and handmade clothing. I have bought yummy rosemary soap from a variety of shops, I have purchased elegant fingerless gloves for my sister for Christmas from a very talented artist and recently I have picked up some fun goodies for myself. Since it is rainy and I can’t take any pictures of my new art I thought I would share some pictures of my latest finds and the names of some great shops.

I recently had to purchase glasses because I am getting old, and could no longer read without squinting. The case my glasses came with was flimsy, so I went on Etsy to see if I could find a cute vintage one. Look I did! I think it’s so pretty and my glasses fit perfectly inside. It is unique and much nicer than one I could of bought at the store. violet64

I was searching Etsy for metal hoops for a new idea I have when I stumbled on this cute vintage shop. The prices are reasonable and the shop owner is a real sweetheart. I not only bought the metal rings but some other fun sewing accessories and this fabulous jar of multicolored sequins. simplychictiques

I love owls. Obviously that is all I have been drawing and painting lately. So when I saw this wallet I had to get it. Actually Happy Kathy has so many fun fabrics to choose from I did hesitate for a minute. I have to make a confession I am 32 years old and this is the first wallet I have ever owned. That is probably the reason I have lost credit cards and my drivers license more than once. It’s nice to have everything organized. Every time I take the wallet out someone comments on it. I really should carry business cards around for the shop. happykathy

Lastly I wanted to show off this cute vintage plaid shirt I bought. I love plaid shirts and this one is so colorful. It really came in beautiful condition. I was nervous to buy vintage clothing online but I would definitely buy from this shop again. It’s my new favorite shirt! afterglowvintage
