i always love a flea market..
big, small, near, far...
my truck brakes for just about
any flea market, anywhere, anytime
walking up to the site,
my heart starts to race,
the anticipation is such a rush !
what am i looking for???
a good read and a small fraction of the price
old furniture
anything that can be used for display in my booth
this great shelf unit folds flat and will fit in the bed of my truck
score !
things i can repurpose
these were part of a system for recording money owed
in an old store
they will be reused as a sort of bulliten board
**
numbers..cool, usefullness..double cool
antique...triple cool
i always find great old cotton flags for resale -
this one is immaculate !
old babies for resale
not sure what i will do with this cloche---
isnt that what it's called???
all the blog girls rave about them !
here's an example of something i was not looking for,
but just love !!
old..very old little bowling pins....
they will look so cool on a window sill in the new abode !
10 wood and 10 colors
i always pick up silverware and silver goodies
adorable vintage typewriter
which i have already resold !
an old metal ruler which i will no doubt cut up for jewelry
another cute little typewriter for resale
my fav color.......
all this great stuff i got last weekend at the flea....
***
but...but...but...
this time i got the best bargain ever !!
***
i was not looking..but...
i came home with 7 boxes of vinyl plank wood look flooring
the good stuff...commercial grade
really looks like wood.but nicer on the feet
i plan to use it for the bathroom and bedroom
in the new house !
i came home. looked it up on the net.....
karndean - van gogh
cheapest price on sale $145.00 per box !
i paid..........wait for it.......
$30 for all 7 boxes !!!!
whooo hooo !!

7 boxes @ $145. = $1,015...
