Flea Market Finds

This week I bought this little cup to go with my other little cups.

Just $1..not quite the 20c bargain that the other little cup was but cheery all the same and matched in nicely with the others. The little mustard pot is a sugar bowel that I picked up for $1 also.

And some favourites around my home that I haven't shared before.
I bought this orange vase for $14 from a second hand place. It was one of those must haves. And, while $14 wasn't cheap, I recently saw one the same for $35 at the Mill Markets(more about that later).

The tiny yellow teacup and saucer was $6.50 at another second hand place. The milk glass was picked up for 50c at the oppy and I have really grown to love it.

A little tin just 50c from the oppy. Have I shown you this already? Hmm never mind..I do love it.


Finally, a pretty tablecloth from Vinnies-$2.00

I buy these pretty linens with the best of intentions-to chop up for fabulous sewing projects-but then I have so much trouble cutting into them. It's adorning our table for now.

What treasures have you picked up lately?
Playing along with Flea Market Finds here.

Love the milk glass and can't believe you found it in an op shop for 50 cents! I have a very similar dish and think it was about $20 from a second hand store. The orange vase is lovely too. melx

Oooooh such a pretty tin! What a great price too! I agree about cutting up fabrics...I'm terrible at deciding and then following through on using any of mine, thus the need to sort through what stays intact and what is *definitely* cut-up fabric.
