Just a few of the fun finds we found at the flea this weekend...
This old burlap feed sack caught my eye with the name Bouckville, NY ...
... The Madison Bouckville antique show, one of my favorites... is in a few weeks...
But once I saw the 52 stamped on the bottom...
...well, you know...
Love, love, love red books!
Detective stories on the left...
Shakespeare in really soft leather covers on the right!
Three little hats.....$1.50 for all....
A fabulous strawberry ice cream mold...
skeleton keys, tin hearts, drapery tacks...
... and the coolest of the cool...
...the remnants of an old French thermometer!
A sweet Madonna framed souvenir from Florence, Italy
The tiniest little folding Corona typewriter!
Here is some information about it....
...although the patent dates on the back of mine say 1904 and 1910.
Love it!
A book of French postcards, some old lace...
...and a copper sprinkler head
These were my favorite finds though...
An elderly gentleman was selling off his collection of old chocolate molds....
Mimi....The Brocantess and I had a great time sorting through these...
...and there were hundreds of them!
I love the champagne bottles...tiny rabbit...decorated eggs...
And....of course the shoe was my favorite!
Deanna of that wonderful shop Gather was able to find some elephants...the icons of Ivoryton!
There was lots more....
...which I will save for another day.
My Mom was kept another night at the hospital so we are hoping tomorrow is the day she comes home! She is looking pretty good!
...and finally...
There are a bunch of law students up in Buffalo, NY about to take the 2 day BAR exam ...
I wouldn't want to embarrass anyone in particular so I will just say that if anyone is so inclined to pray for stamina, endurance and focus for these students on Tuesday and Wednesday....
...I am sure they would all appreciate it!
...and finally, finally...

Great finds, fabulous finds, wishing they were mine. I love the books, and that typewriter, I wonder about all the stories it could tell. Who's fingers graced the keys with poetry?
Awesome show. Cannot wait to see more.

Laura, I cannot believe all the beautiful things you found at the fleamarket.
My favorite is the shoe.
Naturally you had to buy the feed sack!
Love that too. Actually there is not anything I would not like!
Boy, you hit the jackpot. You deserve it. Only the bravest souls would venture out on such a hot day!!!!!!
Our thoughts and best wishes are with Dan and your Mom and so are our prayers.

Dang, I was looking everywhere for those drapery tacks.

Oh Laura,
So many treasures and everyone a gem. I love everything as usual but, my favourite is the modest little heart tin. So sweet. ....oh and I love the strawberry ice cream mold.
I just know that, if I had a special number, I would never find anything with it on !!!! You are always finding things with 52 on it.
It's lovely to hear that your mum is looking well and will be going home soon. I know that it must have been such a worry for you and your family.
I have everything crossed for that bunch of law students. Best of luck to them all. XXXX
I like the little strawberry mold it's just a neat old find.
I wish we were neighbors... would love to set some of your treasures in photographs to paint!
Such wonderful finds! LOVE so many of the same things~
Best wishes for more fantastic finds!
:)
Michelle
I love your beautiful finds! I would have thought the strawberry mold was for molding butter...but that may be showing my age! lol Great treasures! I love your blog! ♥
Ahhhhhhh ~ the Bouckville show, wonderful every year:)
