Best Friends

Hope you are all keeping cool today.
We raced through the flea market this morning as the temp reached 85 in the baking sun.
It seems the older I get, the less I like the heat.
I did manage to find a couple of interesting things, even though we were in a bit of a hurry.

This caught my eye and I brought her home with me.

She's handmade and looks to be as old as me I would guess.

This cutie pie was there too and I figured they must be best friends, so I brought her home as well.
The man who sold them to me obviously did not know how wonderful they are, as he only asked for $1.00 each. I felt very lucky to have found these two best friends.
Hope your weekend was just how you wanted it to be.

Handmade Flea Market Bag

You know how once you get your sewing  area all clean and organized...
 you just want to dive right in and make something....
well...
That's just what I did.
With the FLEA MARKET season upon us......

I decided a new bag was in order.

I put together this random type bag, made from last season's flea market finds.

The base for this bag is a heavy, antique, feed sack...
Just like the ones from Grandma's farm.
 
Brimfield, MA...here I come!
Is anyone else going to the Brimfield Flea Market in May?
Maybe I'll see you there.

If you are here visiting, I am very happy that you stopped by!
It would make my day if you could take a moment to say hello!
Thanks so much!

In Love With Old Books








I've always loved collecting old books and thought I might share with you a few of my latest finds. The one with the pretty lady on the front was a freebie from my local thrift shop. I was in there browsing and they announced that each customer was welcome to three free books. How nice was that? The children's book called "Ameliar-Anne and the Green Umbrella" was a flea market find from this past summer. It has the most lovely illustrations. The tiny "French Self Taught" was a free gift from an Etsy purchase I made of an old wooden bowl. Don't you just love old books?
