Two Days of Flea Market Finds

A couple of weeks ago, my mom and I went to not only 1 flea market, but 2! Tuesday was the Brewster Flea Market, and Wednesday was the Sandwich Flea Market.

At the Brewster Flea Market I got:

A really pretty teal vase, a old tin tray, and what you can't really see that well an old tin small chest. I plan on using it to hold business cards at my shows. 


And at the Sandwich Flea Market I got:
An awesome old drawer, a teal ball jar, and an old anvil! 

This anvil is awesome. I had seen one the day before at the Brewter flea market that was above my budget, and then I actually saw another one at the Sandwich flea market but that one was even more above my budget. I had told my mom that I would just find the next one. She said, yes because there is one right there. It was right in my budget and I can't wait to share the designs that I make with it! 


Two full days of shopping (Tuesday my mom and I ended up going to P-Town, a post about that later) and browsing made me exhausted. I think I was able to catch up on all my sleep though thanks to a nice lazy Thursday.


And now you may be wondering why this post is so late, well I was busy studying for a very important test.

And since I have already taken the test and found out the results, I can finally share that I am officially a Registered Nurse! It's a very exciting time for me now, and I can't wait to share more about it.

Flea Market Finds

My mom just got out of school last week, so this was the first week that we were able to go to the flea market! I LOVE flea markets, you never know what you are going to find and I am always on the hunt for a good deal. The flea market in my town is held every Wednesday, so I actually like waking up very early in the morning to go.

Here are the goodies I found :)
Flower tins. I will be using the two reddish ones in my kitchen in my (hopefully) soon to be apartment. 


I got all of these knitting needles for such a good deal. I was super happy when I found them (I had been on the hunt for old ones, they are the best). This box has a mix of straight needles and circular needles. 
The above knitting needles came with this cool metal tin too! :) 


A super cool old key. I may make it into a piece of jewelry or I may just keep it in a dish as I collect more. 


A Johnnie Walker box (minus the alcohol), but in super great condition. 
And this was actually a trade from my mom, I gave her some of the double point knitting needles and she gave me this is exchange :) I will be using it to hold my earring cards! 

Wednesday is coming up quick again, I can't wait to go!
