Fleamarket Finds



Would you like to peek inside my window and see what treasures I found while at the flea market and antiquing this weekend?



Well, come on in!
I actually found the window!




I first saw the other side, the pretty blue green side of this pair of windowpanes leaning against the wall.

I walked over to examine them closer and that is when I saw the shabby pink paint on the backside or inside of the frames...








Sigh...love at first sight!



Next, I found this wonderful old chicken crate.
I have a few ideas for this...what would you do with it?



Isn't this a great tote with the old swing iron handle?

It looks good this way...



...or this way!



...a small child's Hoosier type cabinet...
...missing one door but with a shelf that pulls out...
...and a little oak dresser with wonderful pull knobs...



...a mother of pearl manicure set in a velvet box and a darling white on white handkerchief with birds...



...a few advertising pieces...



...some more skeleton keys...



...a few old games...



...a St. Bernard puppy postcard in a little old frame...



...an old chocolate mold ...
...sardines?




...various and sundry kitchen items...





...old heavy metal jello molds (not aluminum) ...
...love the pewter look to them...
...a pretty blue enamel pie plate from Austria...




...a child's set of miniature bowling pins with two red wooden balls.



...two old pillow cases that were not in good shape but had an edging of wonderful crochet work in the shape of bells.



...a pretty lace hankie and an interesting, old, silver colored, metal medallion and chain.

That's all I have time for tonight!
More to come this week...
Still hoping to get to Madison Bouckville at least one day!

The weather for the week is supposed to be perfect....
high of 78 degrees and low of 48 degrees...
... and that's why I need a sweatshirt for the early morning!
By 10 am I will be in a T shirt!
I just love this mountain air!

Pollyanna



I promised to show you the game board to the Pollyanna game...



Pollyanna...The Glad Game was made by Parker Brothers, Inc. and patented in 1915.

Pollyanna was a novel written in 1913 by Eleanor Porter.
The gist of the story is that a young girl named Pollyanna lived her life optimistically....always looking for the good side of things no matter what trouble came her way.

I love the colorful graphics of old board games...



This old Parcheesi game board was made in 1938.



And this?
Well, this is just something I found on the ground.
I do not know what it is from...
Maybe you know?

I love old iron and have a few ideas on how to use it floating around in my head...
What would you do with it?

This week is flying by...
...it is almost the weekend again!

My Mom and Dad will be arriving on Saturday and I am so happy to be able to spend Father's Day with them!
How do you plan to celebrate?
