Last Flea at the Lake

I'm heading to the lake this weekend to meet a girlfriend driving over from Vermont and to go the Warrensburg garage sales and flea markets....
It's an annual affair and fun to trek around hunting for treasures!



The photos here show some of the finds I sent to the winners of my 200th post Give Back in August. These items were all found at the Madison Bouckville show where I shopped as the personal shopper for the winners.....
....so much fun!



So this weekend, I will be shopping for myself.....the Warrensburg event is much smaller but always fun as this little Adirondack town puts out all their junk and we flea marketing, yard saling scavengers happily paw through it all! I'm dressing in layers as the temperature has dropped and bringing my umbrella as rain is expected. On more than one occasion it has snowed this weekend at this sale!
... I hope you all have a great weekend! Happy Hunting!
Take care, Laura

Wash Room

These are some of the things hanging around the first floor laundry/washroom at the camp...



Most all are local yard sale or flea market finds picked up here and there over the last twenty years...



A few may have come out of my Nana's medicine cabinet...



They are everyday items from the lives of ordinary people in the past...



Why is it that I find these vintage items comforting?



I don't know the answer to my question...



I know I can picture my Nana using utilitarian items like these....I can see her hands...work weary but beautiful to me...



Do you ever find yourself attributing human qualities or emotions to old things? As if they lived an actual life?
