Flea market finds
August 16, 2012 § Leave a Comment
For my second trip to Mile High this summer, I got a blissful few hours of solitude and a selection of fun finds. A few more wooden hangers for the closet. $2. Some day I will have enough to get rid of the plastic ones.
A dollar fan. How to bring joy to a 6 year old in two seconds flat.
$1 for this set of stamps. Still in the $16 packaging. Endlessly useful for school and creative activities.
Keens, always the keens. Little ones for the little one. $4.
We have been on the lookout for trains. The 4 year old turns five soon and this will be his gift. This box is huge! And very full of train building fun for years to come. $20.
And 3 vintage Fisher Price play stages. I had these. I loved these! $13. The car elevator still goes up and the school bell still rings. Now I’m in the market for the little cars and people.

Thrifted as a complete set, 226 fun alphabet flashcards with cute graphics and pithy sayings. Added to my etsy shop. Would be great with pieces in a gallery wall.

A set of three lovely pyrex dishes. But I haven’t committed to a collection. I’m sure someone else is enjoying them!
Hoop foray

These little baby bonsai are hand embroidery, and were thifted for 4$. I love their detail and texture and they were liberated from brown plastic hoops and copious amount of hot glue. I see a lot of hoops used in groups for gallery walls. These are my first hoops and they are a perfect set!
Pyrex and I are friends
