flea market treasure

After a long, cold winter, Memorial Day weekend is a great time to get out 

and hit the yard sales and flea markets.

I was able to stock back up on some vintage fabrics including

this heavy, blue striped ticking and some floral quilting fabrics...

Also found a grain sack with some cows 

that seem to have a slightly startled expression...

I am always happy to find some barkcloth,

which is perfect for making vintage floral and leather shoulder bags.

Large clay pots always come in handy--this one I found, 

has been planted with a cherry tomato.

{Since moving, I am really missing my gardens!!}

I grabbed this old funnel with the idea of making a pendant lamp...no idea at

the time as to where I would use it,

then I had a thought--a potting shed. It would be perfect lighting

for a little potting shed on our new property...it may be some

time though before a potting shed happens, with our house yet to be built.

Some antlers we found,

always displayed up high, safe from pups who think they would 

make perfect chewing material.

And, this little blue-green plant stand.  The paint is in rough condition, so I just

sanded it down and cleaned it up 

until I can decide whether it needs repainting???

Hope your weekend is a good one,

Deb
