How is your summer going? It has been weird weather wise here. Mostly too dry. At least my vegetable plants are doing well in the raised beds.
I have been trying to get to as many flea markets as possible. I finally had a chance to go to Main Street Market in May.
Loved the truck they had at the market!
Then it was off to the Pec Thing. I had been looking for a hat form for a while and finally found one! Funny but I sold one at the Carriage House a few years ago and now I wanted to decorate with one.
It was the perfect weather day and the perfect day to find treasures.
Speaking of treasures, I ran across two flamingo figures recently. I had always wanted one but I like the thrill of the hunt and don't want to pay a lot for my treasures. How exciting when I found two at an estate sale. Here's one of them....
My sons and I took a trip to see my family in New Jersey. It was great to see them! As usual, my brother took me out treasure hunting. I even shopped his storage unit where he had been holding this vintage dress form for me to look at for about a year. She is beautiful with all her imperfections....
She was covered up with this fabric piece so I took it off to reveal her imperfections.
Here she is closer up....
Plus there is some writing on her back.
Here are a few things I found while out and about with him. I even had a chance to visit the Allaire Flea Market. It was my first time there.
Garage and estate sales are in full gear right now. I'm probably going to have my yearly one at the end of July. I need to clean out. I wanted to show you a few of my recent finds...
I couldn't resist all of those wooden bowls! When I was moving them for this picture, they moved into just the right position that all I had to do was take the picture. I kept the pitcher for my collection and all the rest either have or will end up in the Carriage House for sale. Speaking of the Carriage House, I enlarged my space! I am super excited to have more space for my ideas plus it's so much more open to move around in my area.
You all know how much I love vintage Christmas. I came across these fun ones recently...
I have been posting much more on Instagram these days, so make sure to follow along for almost daily updates.
Happy treasure hunting!
