Flea Mkt For Mother's Day

My hubby decided he would take me to a flea market for Mother's Day. It was on Saturday and I was so excited. On our way this is what we saw, as it had rained the night before. The clouds cleared and I was hopeful for some great deals.
I found this cute sign for my friend Kathy!.......50 cents


I found these things for my friend Kelli's new photo studio!............50 cents each


Kathy had called and said she found sets of drapes for $3.99. I had to check them out and here they are!!! Can we say steal??? It was 2 panels and tiebacks for $3.99. The valances were $1.99. I bought 2 different sets. All together $21.00 for new and not used! These were from Gabes later in the day.


Back to the flea market.........
My find of the day!!!
(insert happy music here)
I spotted these boxes from far away. Ya know one of those times you want to break and run but don't because you want a better deal!! So I strolled up and checked the tag. It said $12.00 for 5 boxes!!! Yes a very good deal but I wanted more!



So, I casually said "take any less?" He said "Oh what does she have on them? I'll take $8". Couldn't get the money out fast enough! I love them!





Well, after everything I brought home, having a yard sale today. Wish me luck!!!!

  5. I am so glad you love my old shop. Funny thing, my daughter was only 3 months old and her brother was 1 1/2 when I bought my first shop and they went to work with me 2 times a week. The shop I showed I posted about my youngest son was 6 months old and learned to walk there and I took all three kids to work. You may not believe it but I broke more china in my shop moving things around than my kids and they went to work with me all summer.
