The weather this weekend was spectacular...
...perfect for being outside at the town wide yard sales and flea market in Warrensburg...
Here are some photos of a few things I brought home with me...
Tools in their original box for cleaning my vintage typewriters....pretty cool for $1.00
Famous American Fortunes
A decorative gilt cover and interesting subject matter and drawings.
...another two tone vintage suitcase...the price was right!
I loved the color of this pretty blue shutter..
...haven't even had a chance to clean it up yet!
... tin scoop with two heart shaped locks...
...five vintage cream bottles with stoppers and numbered tags...
patent April 5, 1921
sadly, only four made it home safely...
I hate when that happens! :(
Wooden crate with lovely blue advertising print...
...Mountain Lake County Bartletts (pears)
zinc sap bucket
Wonderful vintage red and silver Christmas ornament...
Red, white and blue vintage Chase & Sanborn coffee tin and a few white cold creme bottles...
Interesting old drawer...
... one of a pair from the top of a Victorian dresser...
Mortar and pestle, tiny porcelain funnel, butter pat and an enamel funnel...
A group of black and white photographs in a folder labeled Souvenir from Coney Island....
...and a collection of religious medals.
The beautiful foliage and clear blue sky were the big winners this weekend...
Cool crisp autumn days...
...to hold in my mind and heart and sustain me all year long.
It doesn't get better than this!
:)

Those Coney Island pics are priceless! Great find.
Those cream bottles with tags and stoppers are wonderful and unique... don't believe I've ever seen anything like them. You obviously had the Flea Market Mojo this day! *wink*

i love your finds, specially the drawer.
What wonderful finds, I love the cream bottles.
I remember buying a collection of pot cheese moulds and dropped them all when I walked up my front path !!!
Sounds like a perfect weekend, all around, Laura...
Wish we had places in my part of the country to find such fabulous treasures. Thanks for letting me enjoys yours.
Gosh you find some awesome things!
You find the best stuff ! It's funny that when I see the stuff you find I can think of all kinds of things I could do with it. If I saw it in the shops I don't know if those ideas would come to me.But you've given me some ideas of what to look for next time I'm shoping . Great stuff !
once again... SCORE! great stuff! ;)
What great finds, I relly liked the old bottles, so sorry some broke.
The old pictures are the best. I can think of all kinds of things to use them for in altered art cards.
What a beautiful day for shopping! Love the cream bottles with the original stoppers, the locks and the Coney Island photos. Great finds!
That blue shutter - awesome!
You are the Flea Market Queen!!
Great stuff as usual!!
Happy Wed.
xo,
Rosemary
I was doing ok until my heart stopped beating when I saw the blue shutter. I have some gorgeous locks (not as gorgeous as yours), some lovely cream bottles, funnels and religious medals. But did I believe I have just fallen head over heels for an object!!!! Sacre Bleu ;-) C'est magnifique!
...such interesting finds!! New treasures that you will no doubt transform into new loveliness!
xo, Rosemary
Great stuff! I have a few Xmas ornaments, like the one you purchased. They are getting harder to find.Enjoy!! Liz
Once again love all your finds Laura
Pack them up in that suitcase and send them my way... you can come too.. and bring that view with you will ya???
Have a great week,...relax and enjoy!! xxx Julie
I so wish I could find wonderful medals like you do, they are my absolute fav and I love them all!!
Hi Laura,
You always find the most intriguing things. Glad I don't live near-by, we would probably collide over a box of vinatge or antique goodies.
Happy fall. Your pics make me homesick!
Marjorie
Incredible finds! You have "the eye" to discover marvels in flea market. So funny and beautiful! Vintage silver ornement is so poetic!
More lovely finds! I don't know how you do it.
I'm so sorry about the broken cream bottle. It's happened to me many times before, so I know the sick feeling. Glad you still have four beauties!
- Susan
I love every single thing you found! Especially the old locks, the bottles, and the little drawer. And last but not least, those lovely leaves. I wish we had color like that here. ::Jill
I'm totally in love with the cream bottle with their tag
Such wonderful finds. I just love the little treasures you find.
Laura,
Awesome finds! Love the medals, the bottles with funky tops, the drawer & of course the old beach photos! Great post. Lisa
Awesome finds, Laura...but I have one pressing question for you: what do you actually DO with all this stuff? lol I'd love to see a post where you show how you display the bottles you find, or what you did with the shutters, the box, etc.
Blessings,
Melanie
