Without Further Adieu

I finally got my act together to take pictures of my flea market finds. Now, before I get any hopes up - I unfortunately did not find any amazing pieces of furniture that I just couldn't live without. And I was so in awe of my first (well really second - but the first time I went, it was pouring rain, and many of the vendors ended up packing up early) flea market trip, that I completely forgot to take pictures while we were there!

My favorite booths were the guys that had a bunch of old doors and windows with all of the original chippy paint. I was threatening of circling back around and snagging one before I left, but my mom and I decided that this was only our first trip, to check out how everything works, and that we would definitely go back.

I didn't go home completely empty handed - in the last section, there was a guy with a table full of a bunch of odds and ends - or "chachkee's" as they are better known in our house. Nestled in the middle of all the "chachkee's" were a bunch of blue and white pots, for DIRT cheap!



I love the classic look of blue and white pottery - so Ralph Lauren! (cue the sophisticated voice)
