Playing along this week with
Sophie and crew.
First up, some lovely teacup and saucer sets I picked up at a local second hand furniture store.
I fell in love with the colours. They are made in Japan, Kokura Ware iron stone 1970's, no chips, a bit of crazing on a couple of saucers but otherwise great condition. I paid $40 for the 6 sets. A bit more than I usually spend but some searching around online confirms they were a fair price.
Next, this gorgeous pyrex bowl. Very excited to pick this up at the Swap Meet for $5.00
It is in great condition and I have used it a number of times already. It's the perfect size.
And my favourite find..this little dish. It just called out to me. It really is the prettiest green, my photo does not do it justice. I don't usually pick up this kind of stuff but I just
had to have it. I'm not sure hubs would agree but there you go...$5.00
Last but not least, I have decided to show and tell some of
Belle's Buttons. While not technically a flea market find, I feel they are definately worthy of a mention. I am having so much fun digging into this huge tin of buttons. Each little button is so lovely, each with it's own story no doubt. I can't help but wonder what each one was attached to and who might have worn it.
Belle's Buttons..Christmas in July!Yes?
Be sure to visit
Sophie too. She has the cutest little tea cosy. A must see if you are an owl lover..(thinking Miss Mardi).

Lovely green dish and gorgeous buttons!
Those tea cups are great! I have my eye on a yellow set in a shop here but they're $60 and a bit steep for me.
the pastel colours on those cups are to die for. a mix like this looks ever so charming. it is a great find!

Love the colours of the cups - very pretty!

Oh the teacups are beautiful! I love them. Worthy of the $40.
I'm surprised you said you wouldn't normally buy something like the green bowl cos I thought it was so you!!!
Those buttons of Nana Belle's look beautiful together.

Very sweet teacups! I also like the green dish; it is lovely. Buttons are fascinating; it is fun to wonder about their past uses.

Hello there, I just wanted to say thanks for the comment on my blog! I was wondering how you came across it?
Anyhoo I am loving your op shop finds, seeing the gorgeous things you have found inspires me to go looking myself (but its not easy with 3 little ones tagging along).
Thanks again xoxo M

Those buttons are so beautiful- can picture them as the centrepiece of some crochet flowers. Also much appreciating the pyrex and the green bowl is a particularly lovely colour. Good finds all round. melx
