Today, I got the boys up early to go garage/estate saleing with me. It was so much fun. We hit a few estate sales in the area and I found the most wonderful collection of vintage linens. Ethan spotted them and called me over. He didn't want to ruin my concentration while I was looking over items in the kitchen. I'm glad he told me! I had the table to myself and I cleaned her out. I was so excited. There were napkins, curtains, fabric, kitchen towels, Christmas, Easter and just everyday. I will be keeping a few for my collection and then putting the rest up for sale in my space. They are wonderful. I just love vintage linens. The colors and graphics are great. I never get tired of looking at them or using them. They add so much to a space.
I found another milk glass punch bowl with gold trim at a garage sale and bought it. I didn't need another punch bowl but it would make a lovely salad bowl. It came with 10 cups. I will be letting go of another punch bowl set in the near future to make room in my cupboard for this new one. I have gotten pickier with milk glass since I have so much of it, but I couldn't pass this up.
Remember that tomorrow is the Belvidere Flea Market at the fairgrounds in Belvidere starting at 3pm and on Sunday is the Elkhorn Flea Market in Elkhorn WI at the fairgrounds starting at 7am. If you want to take a road trip, it's the Taste of New Glarus in New Glarus WI. The main street in town is closed to traffic so that local restaurants can set up areas to purchase their food. It makes a fun day/trip. The nuthorn cookies from the bakery are soooooo delicious. You can even stop in Monroe to buy cheese and visit the Swiss Colony outlet store.
Happy treasure hunting!
It was so much fun to meet you in the shop yesterday. Terry and I are planning on going to Elkhorn this Sunday. One of my favorite flea markets. I have never gone to the Belvidere Flea Market. Hmmmmm..... Have a great week end.
