Check out my Saturday Flea Market finds! I have to admit that the Matlesse bedspread was from a garage sale. It was really more like an Estate sale because they were selling everything in the house and the house also! They had a beautiful antique piano for $300. However, we were shopping on a very. small. budget! My eyes fell on this gorgeous Matlesse green-blue bedspread. It's in perfect condition and a king size! Cost: $5.
My next favorite find were these oranges and lemons in a basket. I found these at a local flea market. They feel like they are made out of wood but have the look of stone fruit. I think they are beautiful and will look great in my Apothecary jars. Turns out they are real dried fruit! I couldn't pass them up for Cost: $3.40 including the basket!
Next I found these great frames at another flea market that just opened up near my house. I have been collecting chunky frames for quite some time. I plan on painting them shabby white and running them up my stairway wall filled with black and white photos. Until I get to that project, these were great to add to the collection at a Cost: $1. each including the glass!
I also found these great paper stacking baskets, this beautiful dark wood cake pedestal, and four dainty glass plates. Cost for all of these: $9.
So there you have it! I spent under $20. and had a fun time with Mr. Cottage Glamour while we poked and prodded around Flea markets last Saturday afternoon. Cheap date and I added some cottage goodness in the process!
What's your favorite thrifty find?

Ginger, thanks so much for stopping by and the great tip for the blog header. I'm always looking for those!
ReplyDeleteThank-you for stopping by that was sweet. I just wanted to tell you that you can shop at shopgoodwill.com and get a pile of hankies. The bid started at $4.00. Shopgoodwill.com is better than ebay because they don't cost as much and there's not as many people bidding on the items, only because I don't think very many people know about it. Well good luch with your quilt.I may have the hankies but now I just need to find time!

P.S I bought some pots from shopgoodwill just before Christmas and they sent me a teapot by mistake.So I emailed them and they said to keep the teapot and we will still send you your pots. I thought that was very good business.
Hi Ginger! I'm definitely going to check out the shop goodwill site. Sounds great! And yes, the hankie quilt will have to get in line behind all of my other unfinished projects!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and wanted to say hello. Looks like you found some great stuff for $20 bucks!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am so envious!! What wonderful treasures you found. I am in love with those metal letter tray. I have the same cake pedestal :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by! It's so fun to meet new people that have the same passion for the "hunt" as I do!
