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!








The birds were great but a bit pricey!




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!

Me and my partner in crime (my grandmother).




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

Sunday’s Simple Pleasures, Strawberries




Our strawberries have started to come in and they are so sweet and juicy. When you bite into them they burst in your mouth. There is just something so special about growing your own fruits and vegetables, everything just tastes better.




Our strawberry plants are intertwined with my perennials so every time the kids and I go to pick them it’s like going on a mini treasure hunt. Abbey has been known to be a little impatient and picks green berries every now and then.




I have fond memories of picking strawberries with my great-grandmother, mother and sister. We used to fill huge Tupperware bowls full of berries and make delicious strawberry shortcakes with them.


Strawberries are simply delicious.
