flea market friday next week

can you believe that i have not been to a flea market in A LONG TIME? you know that is rare for me. My friend, Jane and i, are either going to Columbus tomorrow or Ocean Grove on Saturday (or both), so i figured, we could do a Flea Market Friday next Friday, June 10th. If you don't know what FMF is, its just a little blog gathering where you do a blog post featuring items you have found at the flea market, estate sales, antique store, thrift store, etc. Create a blog post for Friday, June 10th and then come over here to log into the linky that you will find under my post. then we can all hop around and see what sort of goodies we have found lately. don't worry, it can be something you found a few months ago, or something you found recently. We just want to see the goodies!

in other news, tucker is feeling much better. i want to thank everyone for their kind comments and thoughts for my sweetie pie. he went back to school yesterday. he came home very tired, poor guy. hopefully each day will get be better than the next. He's graduating on June 9th though, so he actually doesn't have many days left in the school year.

i randomly did a little sewing a few days ago and created a shower curtain for my bathroom. It's been on my to do list, so i finally tackled it. it's quite heavy! this picture was taken in the hallway as the bathroom is very tiny and it's to hard to snap a photo in there. the shower is one of those stalls, so thus the smaller rod......

an impromptu flea market friday

Since last Thursday was so beautiful here in New Jersey a few friends and i got to hit the flea market, so i thought we'd do an impromptu flea market friday this week. To play, just show us some of your flea market , thrift store or garage sales finds in a blog post. You'll add your linky to my post on friday so that others can see your blog post and then you need to link your blog post back to my blog.

see you friday!

Flea Market Friday - join in!

goodness, I almost forgot! here i am thinking it is Thursday!

Well, obviously it is getting colder and harder for us to get to a flea market without warm weather and it not raining - so i think this will be the last FMF until it warms up again!

i did manage to find a few things last week at Columbus, but not alot - not many vendors when it is cold.




old mirror frame - i see this as the beginning of a cold mixed media base!

Hi and welcome to flea market friday. We show off our goodies the first Friday of every month and the rules are simple:

1) post about your flea market, antiquing, thrift store or garage sale items
2) link your blog post back here to flea market friday.

----------------------------------

So having just returned from 2 weeks on the road where i was hauling a trailer with a wee bit of spare room in it, my friends and i decided to hit as many antique, flea markets and thrift stores that we could pack in. Wow, did we go to a lot. I think i wore my friend, Pam, out! It was fun to take pics of all the stores we went to.

--------------------------------------------------------

my favorite purchases were these:

this is an old Revlon drug store advertising display. I'm sure at one time it must have held packets of eyeshadow. it is so cool and the light on the top actually works. i bought it for a steal at $50 -i thought it would be the coolest way to display jewelry.

my other favorite purchases were these vintage dresses found in Michigan. for the most part, they are in great shape; just need a good cleaning! another steal at $10 a piece!

From the flea market last week, i scored ($60!) this awesome old storage piece. it seems to be some sort of old index holder of history stuff. not sure much more about it from there. there's a little shelf that pulls out and i believe it used to be covered with an index map of where to locate items in the storage piece. one piece i can read (it was ripped off, but there's a tiny snippet in the way back that i found) reads something about an image from some Spanish event.

but anyway, it's mine now and it is now an index for Lemoncholy goodness! it has 5 draws, all of which has been fillled with stuff i have found from the flea market over the past few years. What i love most about it, is that i can store my art books on top and i love how i can see them standing up like that.

------------------------------------------------------------

do you Moo?

i'm putting a call out for Moo cards for a studio project i am working on (as in decorating my studio with.....) i've been collecting them for about 3-4 years and used all the ones i had and need some more to finish my project. so if you are interested in sending me one of your moo cards, just email me (keeshagirl4@aol.com) and i'll give you my address.

mucho gracias!

Hi from Pennsylvania. I am staying with my girlfriend, Leslie, and we are taking a few classes at Beadfest. Tonight we started our two day class on resin applications with Susan Lenart Kazmar. It was fun and i resined a lovely butterfly that i found on the ground at Wawa before class.  this morning before driving to Philly, i stopped at Columbus flea market and found a few things. you'll have to excuse my photos, as i had to do an impromptu photo shoot inside my car since i would be blogging here at Leslie's house.
