Sunday Mornings


I have never been terribly confident in social settings. (I think that is why I was attracted to my husband 30 some years ago, as he was always outgoing and comfortable meeting new people.) I am not shy, just not usually the first one to jump in and carry a conversation. There is one exception to my timid personality. Flea markets! I never bother asking Kerry if he wants to get up early Sunday mornings and head on over to the Medina fleamarket sponsored by the local Lions Club. I feel at home with the friendly vendors and fellow customers while I stroll the aisles and visit with anyone that is willing to chat.


This past Sunday I met new friends, visited with old friends and rummaged through some really cool junk!


I don't wear vintage jewelry but I am attracted to it! I love seeing old jewelry recrafted as bottle stoppers on old bottles and salt shakers.


I am also attracted to weddding cake toppers...not sure why.


Guess what these are. Yep, vintage car seat covers. They will make wonderful table runners!


Now this is what I call dressed for the occasion!


I couldn't resist!


With the election coming up I was surprised these weren't sold.


I am a sucker for anything in quantity...I got all these for $7.00


It killed me to pass these up.


I couldn't pass these up...to sell at the Bonanza!

What's the deal with the cool peach colored truck you ask? I saw it in the parking lot, fell in love with it, and it is for sale. I called the owner and asked if he would like to display it at the Bonanza. (If it doesn't sell before September.)

Stay tuned for part 3 coming up....

Peace,
Ki

  1. I love flea market folks too. They are so down to earth, and everyone is willing to have a friendly conversation. Interesting finds you got there, can't wait to see what you do with all those teapots. That was a good price. Love the truck too.
    Can't wait for part 3.

  3. I cannot believe you got that entire box of teapots for $7.00! Funny, but I love anything "en massee" like that. More really is more! lol

  4. I absolutely LOVE hunting for vintage jewelry. I usually take it apart and repurpose it. :)

  5. Aren't flea market people the greatest. I too can speak to them before regular folk (even co-workers). The tea pots-what a find. Don't know how you could pass up the others. Looking forward to part 3.

  7. Hi Ki!

    I am so excited to have discovered you have a blog! I interviewed you a while back for my blog, and it was an honour!
    If you ever want to do another just drop me a note...

    It pains me, literally, that I cannot come to your Bonanza!! Maybe someday, but the thought of missing out on all that goodness...ooohhh!!

    Great blog!

  8. Great finds!
    I'm having flea market withdrawl. I've only been to a couple this summer. Our weekend weather has NOT been cooperating. LOL

    Can't wait to see what you do with your new treasures!
