Flea Market finds


Bit late with my flea market finds this week. My head is doing me in with all the things I have to get to this week, and all the things I want to get to this week. Can somebody please extend this week? Maybe just a day or two longer??

Went off to the local tip shop this week, just had to check out the madness that is a Friday there. Wow, security guards breaking up fights, people taking off with other peoples trolleys, people hovering over you as you decide whether or not you want the full piece retro kitchen set minus the lid for the flour (I didn't buy it, but I did take it off the shelf and walk around with it for a bit, just for my own amusement!).

What I did buy was this fabulous kero lantern that I had seen somewhere once for $40. I paid $4. I really love it. I also picked up that panel of Ikea fabric for .50c. Bargain. The chair was opped sometime last year and I have been meaning to paint it ever since. Another thing to add to the "to do" list....

Gorgeous Lamp. And I love that chair- the little ducks, Selina my god I love it. And personally I don't think it needs a paint, I like it the way it is, but I'm partial to worn things.
Totally with you on the week, and while we are at it, can we add some hours into the day xo

Great work! And love that you messed with a few minds with your kitchen set antics!! Nothing quite like that hungry look that people get when they want something! Love your finds too. Hope you have a happy week :)
