Flea Market Finds

Lots of lovelies found this week and last, once again the country oppies did not disappoint. 

This English retro beauty was found in Sydney, I love the green and yellow and the oval shape. I saw another woman spying on it when I put it on the counter,lucky I got there first I say.  


a milk glass jug and blue glass Avon vase.


This is one of my favourites, it's a milk glass juice decanter. I love the childish design, so bright and colourful.


some beautiful vintage children's books, the illustrations in these are so gorgeous, there are definitely some frame worthy pages in there if I can bring myself to rip them out.


more Holly Hobbie love, the sheet is in such good condition, don't know if I can bring myself to chop into this either.


one can never have enough rose floral table cloths and tea towels.


I found these Krups kitchen scales for $7.50 at the Salvo's in Goulburn.  My sister nabbed them as she has a thing for orange and they do look great in her kitchen.


I'm loving the sweet fabrics I found too, the cherries are divine, I can't wait to make Rosa a summer sundress to wear with her red saltwater sandals. 


How was your op shopping week? see more at Her Library Adventures here.

    Gorgeous finds - love the milk/juice decanter and the Holly Hobby fabric looks great. The blue fabric with the red pattern will look lovely as a little dress.

    What awesome finds! Love the children's books, I couldn't bring myself to cut or tear them. Maybe you could get pics copied at a local print shop?

    What fantabulous finds- you must have been hyperventilating all weekend. Love that second photo- it looks like a still life work of art. The milk glass is glorious, and the blue glass and the fabric. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. melx
