No Flea Market!?

Where's the flea market!? It usually begins on the last Sunday of March...so off I went despite the coldest grey ugly weather of the winter and nasty drizzling rain. Nope, not a booth or dealer in sight. Sooo..since I was right there, I stopped in the thrift shop.

The thrift shop has been a fun alternative this winter. Probably was just as good or better ''stuff''and takes much less effort to wander thru its well-lit warm aisles.
Recent treasures:
Wonderful early 1800s[c.1840?] English Staffordshire large dish! 4.oo  with the weekend markdown!

yes a chip, who cares!

White ironstone bowl..2.99.

Cute little crate for my seaglass bottles I sell on etsy...

Lovely hand-woven Swedish "Danish Modern" table cloth, brand new, vintage...in my colors!

Wonderful periwinkle blue [bad ohoto colors] India print placemats and napkins, for summer deck dinners...

Sweet Easter grass..a quarter! and a neat old heart box....

to paint white and cover with seashells?

A large sham of some sort. I will cut it in half long-ways and remake it into a table runner....

An ugly fabric, below, but I loved the birds! Very bleached or over-dyed indigo blue, it will be beautiful!

Various garments, all beautiful linen to repurpose as my lavender hearts:

I can't wait to get started on all these projects! My etsy shop will soon be filled with wonderful Cape Cod lavender hearts and seaglass...and shells...and...

love

lizzy

gone to the beach....
