Our Easter weekend was a bit different this year as many family members were out of town....but it was still wonderful....full of bright sunshine, flea markets, special friends with sweet little girls, new friends and a delicious Easter dinner...
... and some down time just for relaxation too.
I was able to spend a morning at the flea market and found some fun things that I wanted to share with you...
...first this little poultry feeder....the perfect size for a few white pansies...
I loved the color on this flowered enamel plate...
...the chips don't bother me a bit!
...Now, those initials...LDC
...could they say....Laura Doesn't Clean?
...no, no...that can't be right...
Laura's Dreams Cometh?
...moving on...
I found seven of these blue and white flowered enamel plates...
a handful of crystals and two tarnished mother of pearl knives...
...two little old tins and a wonderful, tiny wicker covered bottle... c 1900
...and some rusty finials...
...There was lots more...I will save a few pics for a later post...
I've also been rooting around in the cellar and digging up some old zinc items, watering cans, tin things, etc, etc.
White pansies look pretty with everything!
I hope that you are having some warm spring sunshine where you are...
or for my friends on the other side of the world...perhaps at least sunny skies!
...and I hope your week ahead brings all good things!
:)

Hi Laura......I wanted to come by and wish you and your family Easter greetings, but I just didn't have time - sorry! -
how fun you got to the flea market - I missed the one near me (due to the business)
Hope you are well - and I'm sure you are reveling in the spring's sounds and smells.
I agree, everything looks good with white pansies. Loving all your zinc. Hope you had a wonderful Easter.
Take care,
Kathleen
Ohhh you did good. I love old buckets or zink that will hold dirt. Now I'm on the hunt for white Pansies!
Good job and lots of fun.

your new found treasures are all lovely! the white pansies are particularly beautiful, we don't see many in white around our garden centers :(
What awesome finds! Isn't that just the best fun ever! Thanks for sharing.
Nancy
Great finds! Love the rusty finials and the little wicker covered bottle. Sounds like my kind of favorite day.
Laura, may I ask what flea market has such wonderful treasures? I live on Long Island and this seems worth a trip!! The white pansies-beautiful! I did get some nice purple and yellow but I love the soft look of the white.

What great finds! I love that galvanized or zinc metal. Cute enamel plates too! What a fun flea market that must have been.
Love how you've displayed all your treasures with the white flowers....magazine ready!
Awesome Laura!
I can tell you had a nice weekend!
Love the white pansies with the zinc.

Some days I wish I could shop with you.
I have never found completely white pansies like yours. They all seem to have color in the center. I really like those and will not give up on my search.
Everything looks wonderful as usual.
I am loving all of the zinc. It's my new obsession. Thanks for the inspiration your blog provides me.
I love your finds from the flea market and your attic. And, the pansies look so pretty in your unexpected containers.
Beautiful treasures. My favorites are the Mother of Pearl knives and ALL of the pansies wherever they are planted:) Have a blessed evening my friend!
Laura, you find the most amazing items- you just have a fabulous eye! I just love the initialled enamel plate- I've never seen one like it!
doctor told me I was low on zinc ... better find me some
oh wait, I bought a zinc topped tabled last week ...
never enough zinc
The white pansies do look beautiful with the zinc. I can't believe you have all of that zinc in your cellar! All that zinc together makes for a great photo.

You found some great items, wow. Love those finials. Florence

What lovely spring images. Little chips don't bother me either when I am attached to the pattern or color of something. Happy belated Easter.

Hi Laura,
What a sweet spring post. The white pansies are so pretty against the zinc, rusty finials are so still and vintage. Your MOP handled knives are beautiful. Thanks for sharing beautiful simple images.

Your Zinc pieces are KILLING me! I LOVE them! AND the white pansies in the zinc feeder...BRILLIANT
