 Now onto the Flea Market Finds....

 
I have yet to drag this table into my house, but keep pulling it out of my garage to use it for something or another.. and please excuse the back yard mess..... but sadly something has to give till the kids get out of school and this is it.  So here are the goodies I found over the weekend.. Between yard sales and a wonderful Flea Market, I think I did alright :)

This black glass display cabinet, is Wonderful.. And this old scale, I fell in love with.  I have never seen one with this much neat detailing on it.  And for some reason I keep finding these typewritters, but they are so great to decorate with.

The side of the scale.

A box of old lace and trim.. A Sewers Dream!
This box is FULL!  After picking and picking and picking, the lady finally made me a killer price on the whole box.. I think she wanted to get out of her booth, lol..
I LOVE these old yard long black and white pictures.. This one is of an old Navy Unit.. I think I may be keeping this one for a while..
I also love the old suitcases I have been finding..I have always loved using them, and these are the best!  They still have the old travel stickers on them and are the perfect "shabby" look!
A project that I will showing on here, hopefully soon.. I am going to paint these white, have my husband make a top for them, so they will stay together and they will be at the Mercantile soon!
I think I have an obsession with drawers!
How cute is this?  Also going to be at the Mercantile!
Some neat fabric on the top, and someone will have a neat, chippy, perfect Aqua storage box, ottoman!
And these old Shutters.. I love old shutters.. So many uses and a MUST for any home who loves the cottage look!  
All these items will be at the Mercantile Mall in Old Downtown Milford, Ohio by Wednesday.  So stop in if you are around.. Lots going down this week, markdowns and the girls have stocked the store with neat new stuff..
Another Give Away will start tomorrow.. I am doing Four Weeks of Give Aways!  So stay tunned.. and it won't all be my stuff, or sewing stuff.. so keep checking back!  Have a great day and Thanks to ALL who entered and left a comment, I go to all your blogs too and you ALL are so talented!  Have a great Monday!
