I spent yesterday morning at Todd Farm flea market. I really don't believe in keeping my favorite haunts a secret because I think it reverses your thrifting karma. There's more than enough fabulous junk for us all, don't you think? I got this mirrored shelf, dated 1956 on the back. When cleaned up it will be perfect for over my vanity, high enough so my things can be protected from Little Thor. Does it remind you of anything (except the price - I got it for $15 and the one below is $400!)?
Here is a frame that was hanging
in the back of a dirty old barn. I climbed over old bottles, moldy boxes and a mannequin missing it's middle finger to get it. Ok, Husband is going to die when he sees it glossy pink but the details are so much prettier in pink! Stay tuned to see where
it's going.
Some wooden spools in dreamy colors.
Vintage Avon decanter which was taken out of it's fabulous packaging by a 2year old. How did I know this? The smell of cheap rosewater everywhere.
I fished the packaging out of the trash, where it was lying with catsup on it, yet all involved vehemently denied involvement (yes, the excuses heard included "SCOOBY DID IT!")
A pretty little "Made in England" tin where I'm going to keep my sewing pins.
An apple bowl which needs a good scrub (and is a much nicer pear green than the photo.) This is for the kiddos' wall.
And finally, a sneak peek of the kitty's corner where she has pretty bowls, her own mirror and a few more accoutrements to come! I'll be posting an update later on the AT Home Cure here at Caspapinka and what I've been doing this weekend, so please check back.

I must start going to the flea market! These finds are just gorgeous and I love that kitty even has a pink mirror.

Thanks a lot. Bowls are from Anthropologie. They match the fridge sort of.
