It seems that the weather is all over the place this spring...
teasing us with summer warmth for a few days...
only to return to the winter chills again.
Well, I guess now that I think about it...
...that is typical spring time weather!
Anyway, the week before Easter I made it to my fav flea
and despite threatening skies...
I was able to bundle up, stay warm and get to see some junk!
Here are a few pics I snapped to share...
I'm thinking thoughts of Goldilocks or The Three Amigos here...
Pitchers of daffodils...
and wooden buckets of pussy-willows...
taken with gloved fingers and my pocket canon...
Loved this little case full of vials...
...a vacant house
...pearly white buttons
... a drawer full of tomato red pin cushions
...lovely ephemera
...sealing wax
...a pretty pansy painting
...and this last picture is for my grown up son...
It looks like the floor of his room 20 years ago!
Hoping you are having a good Wednesday!
:)

Hi Laura,
I asked about that little green house and was told that it was from a child's old train station.And that box of buttons...I wanted to buy the little set of drawers but it wasn't for sale. We have the same taste:) Don't forget to take home bouquet of fresh flowers from my favorite guys there. Always a beautiful buy:)

Capers of the vintage vixens
Awesome goodies!
That last photo reminds me of my sons room too.
In fact, I had all his "men" until last year, when I sold most of them in a yard sale. *keeping only his fav's.
I must admit, it brought tears to my eyes when the lady walked away with a big sack of them. She was buying them for her grandsons though, so that helped knowing they got to be enjoyed by another little one.
Sorry to babble on and on. ;)
Hugs,
Tam
I would have had to have a trailer!
The chemists vials and jars are pretty cool.

The dealer with the chairs difinitely has a sense of humor; or maybe likes to decorate following the rule of 3. Now that little house I'd love to own!!
Hahaha! Love that last pic. I was thinking it looked like my floor right now. :)
Drooling here! Looks fabulous!!!!
Oh please such beautiful treasures. I love the box of buttons. Thanks for sharing, Cheers SpecialK XoXo

That is a good flea market! So many great treasures! I am on my way over to Jackie's giveaway!
Oh boy, if only there was a flea market like this near me.... maybe it's good that there isn't. I'd have to make some really difficult decisions and trade in my VW bug......
Beautiful photos.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm crossing my fingers for good weather at least one of the two weekends we are there. I've dreamed about the Elephant,s Trunk since I first read about it on your blog. We are counting down the days until we leave Texas. And travel to the beauty and magic of Massachusetts.
Smiles,
Carol.
Now that I found my way back to blogging, it is a pleasure to always visit your place, Laura.
I've been having fun in all sorts of antiques/flea markets in Europe and having a blast :)
Kisses from sunny Portugal!
What great finds! I love all the buttons and the doll house! Looks like your son will be thrilled! Have a great weekend:)

I do wish we had flea markets in this part of the world. Nothing is ever thrown here! those boxes - what history.
Thank you for those wonderful impresseions! I like the birdhouse the most...and the buttons!!!
Wish I had gotten to go to that flea market - looks like it was fabulous! I especially love things like that sealing wax bead set - I have never seen one like that before and it looks like it is in perfect condition.
Thanks for sharing!
