all photos, (except the shelf and book ones) are taken with a pentax super me and fuji film, my last flea market find!
we went to the flea market in town. once a month the carpinteria museum hosts it for a few hours on saturday morning. we always find one or two small treasures, although i like to just look. the thing i liked best today was watching my granddaughter. she had five dollars of her own to spend and she's now old enough to walk around with a friend, coming back to check in with her mama and me every so often (it's a small market and we can still see her).
the girls chose matching friendship bracelets which they proudly posed with. the museum attendant ladies said they wished all the children that visited were like sadie and her friend. since i can't take credit for that its okay i boast right? but if i were to say how proud i am of my daughter... oh these girls of my heart...
my finds pictured are: an old leaf candle holder, a wooden shelf installed by myself (there was even a power drill involved!), two vintage crocheted hangers and an old alice starmore knitting book filled with beautiful photos and classic designs. grand total: seven dollars!
we haven't seen the sun in days and last night there was a spectacular thunder and lightening storm with what felt like hurricane winds, but judging by tonight's sunset you would never know.
:)
She is just beautiful Lori and it looks like she takes after her mom and grandmom!
ReplyDeleteYour flea market looks like a great place to browse and I adore your treasures. Very impressive on using a power drill.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend. xx
Those kids looks like they're having such a good time, and how sweet that they bought bracelets together. And your daughter looks so beautiful too. would love to wander the flea market with you - but this is the next best thing
ReplyDeleteHow lucky the little girls are to get introduced to flea markets at such an early age. I'm glad you had such a good day.
ReplyDeleteyou are the true treasure my much loved friend

ReplyDeleteSorry! Why does the veri word not appear right away? I tried again, but that made my comment appear twice. Stupid, stupid.
ReplyDeleteI love you teaching me knitting, Lori! Some computering wouldn`t be bad, either!
