Flea Market Jones

Forgive me bloggers for I have sinned. It has been 3 months since my last trip to the flea market. I'm going out of my mind waiting not-so-patiently for September when the Indianapolis flea market starts back up. I might soon have to make a road trip to some place where they realize that treasure hunting is a full time occupation. Until then I did manage to find a few treasures at local antique shops to tide me over. Vintage wallpaper, which I never find, a great wire basket that just may end up getting painted, a lovely children's book and the exact tea cup I have been searching for to scoop my flour.

18 creative & brilliant friends stopped by to say...:

Now I know what I am going to do with the apothecary jars on my counter! Out with the pasta, in with the flour and sugar!

And they say it couldn't be done... you did it! Great finds.

Great stuff! I really love the little book. I have a thing for old children's books but they're hard to find (for me anyway).
