flea market + junk shop

The Elephant's Trunk did not disappoint this morning. Here's the loot:

Federal mirror that needs some love; $5

A pair of bird needlepoints; $2 (need to be badly cleaned and frames painted)

Forgot to take pics of a thin-necked, pewter pitcher great for flowers ($1) and a sweet candlestick holder (free).  So all in all, $8 for a really fun morning with mom. 

Thennnnn we decided to swing by the junk shop because mom has been blabbing about this chest of drawers. Card catalog-eqsue but not really. Used as a tool box. Well, it was still there. Here she is: 

Almost the same exact piece (except covered in old green paint) was going for $800 at the flea market. $75 dollars later and she's waiting to get pretty at home :) Excited to turn it into an entryway catch-all console. Mail, keys, office supplies, tools, and 20 other things for the other drawers. 

it's flea market season!

Mom and I happily woke up before the sun this morning to drive to the Elephant's Trunk Flea Market in Connecticut.

While I am in no position to buy anything substantial (where am I living in a few months? no idea), I did walk away with these cuties:

  

working vintage fan, $20

pie plate , $3

Still thinking about these babies:
