Happy Friday! Today I want to introduce you to a new blog party my friend Kecia ... of Lemoncholy's flight of fancy ... has begun hosting ... "Flea Market Friday" It's very simple to play along, simply link up and share some photos of your recent flea market, thrift store, garage sale {you get the idea} finds you were lucky enough to come across.
I have been selling more lately at the Barn Market ... way more than I have been shopping ... good thing, I need some sort of income to fuel my junkin' addiction!
Below are my latest buys ...
an antique embroidered sampler ... perfectly aged and distressed .... perfectly priced ... $5
A French book for photo props or using the pages for altered art creations ... $1
And third ... a gorgeous old rosary with red glass beads and lovely findings ... prices on rosaries have sky rocketed here in my area .... I believe I paid $25 for this one ... Not too long ago, I used to be able to pick them up for a few dollars, not anymore. {sigh} Those were the days.
Will you be getting out to treasure hunt this weekend? I am ... The Man has generously volunteered our home Saturday morning for community theatre play practice ... I need somewhere to escape and we all know what goes on Saturday mornings .... Garage Sales here I come !!
Have a great weekend and please checkout Kecia's new party.
oh man, jill, that rosary - yum! i know, they are harder and harder to find for the bygone price of a few dollars! thanks for playing,

25.00 for a glass rosary is a good price nowadays...I bet you will make some pretty jewelry pieces out of it too.

My first time visiting your blog and I have to say I love the feel of it. I will look around a little more. That is a great rosary and that sampler was a great deal.
ReplyDeleteI have fallen in LOVE with your blog after my friend Sandy told me about you. I have added you to my Blog Roll so I can keep up with what's going on. Sure would love one of your belt buckles in the clear colors. I see all of the ones with the clear & rhinestones are SOLD! Charlene
