Flea Market Finds

Op shopping has been really slow once again, it's not that I haven't been trying but just not finding anything of much interest. I'm sure my luck will turn soon.

This is an oldie but my absolute favourite colour, Vinnies $5


Some pretty peachy, pink plates for $1 each.


My mum found these amazing buttons from the 30-40's, they are glass beads and wire. I'm thinking of making some yoyo's and putting them on a top for Rosa. They would also make lovely ear rings.



She also found some cute vintage fabric, I really must start using some of this childish fabric, I've got quite a stash now.


Have you checked out Sophie's yet? there are lots of great finds over there.
