It’s that time of year again…
Saturday morning I’m visiting my first flea market of this new season. I’m going with Shannon, from The Other Gabor Sister, and I’m pretty sure she’s gonna teach me a thing or two about flea marketing.
Last year I posted my flea market wish list, so I thought it might be fun to do again.
Just for the record, I didn’t find everything on last year’s list, so I’m hoping I’ll do better in 2011.
Looove me some plates as wall art. My taste is a leettle more neutral than this display, but I am intrigued by the mismatched look.
Vintage botanical plates + ceiling medallion frames = LOVE
So…we can conclude I’m always looking for PLATES. What else?
Anything architectural, like shutters…
and doors…
Always love my letters. I’d pick“B”s, of course.
Every room should have some metallics, don’t you think? These old grates make fantastic candle sconces.
I think this list will get me started! What are you hunting for?

Be sure to stop back on Friday for a JEWEL OF A GIVEAWAY!!

Can't wait to see your "treasures"......Amy
ReplyDeleteI used to have a wall of state plates in my daughter's nursery now they are waiting to be hung in the hallway. Love that image, I used it to create my wall.
ReplyDeleteI went to my first flea market of the season 2 weeks back and found a whole bag of Shiny Brite ornaments for 50 cents! I'll be on the look out for more. Vintage books too.
ReplyDeletegood luck finding a treasure! The gold "N" in that letter picture I think comes from Hobby Lobby - I bought a "K" for my daughter's room and a "B" for my office - I think they were $10 - but I got them for 50% off :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding all of these items. I'm hoping you do find them all!

I am excited to hit the flea market with you! Hope I can help you find those treasures! I can certainly help with the shutters, as I have a pair I picked up the other day! This is going to be so fun!

For some unique B's, look for metal lyre wallhangings (I've got a few of these in my booth - if you're not sure sure what I mean, let me know and i can send you a pic). Turned on its side it makes a cool B. I used one when I spelled out our last name in our entryway out of various flea market items. These could also be an M, W, E or even an A depending on how they are humg and what else is hung around it!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your search!!
Are you going to the Springfield Show? I hope to go on Sunday!!
