Flea market finds

I'm very excited about some of this weeks flea market finds.

My first purchase was these old glass bottles.  Apparently syrup for coca cola was transported in them. Unfortunately the seller no longer had the lids, these had been replaced with corks.  The ones with original lids she had sold for $5 each to a local antique shop, to see them for sale for $55 the following week. I think they'll look fantastic in my pantry and very useful for storing pasta, oats etc...

I also got this cute little dolls bed!  She said it needed a paint, but I love the shabby worn look of it, will make a lovely bed for her doll I'm ordering from Jennie.

My final garage sale had this little gem... a childs toy clothesline. Isn't it just too cute???
Can't wait till Poppet can hang her own clothes out. Perhaps I should look for a vacuum cleaner(hoover) next!

I also got a couple of wire baskets leftover from a kitchen renovation, thought they'd be useful for storing fabrics, a desk tidy for my sewing desk, a cute cot sheet set and another storage jar.

So all in all, quite pleased with my purchases, especially the toys.  It's so much fun buying for a little person.

Hope you've had good luck with your finds this week.  For more flea market finds pop over to Sophies.

  3. I love the clothesline - too cute! I found a dolls cradle almost exactly the same, but I'm leaving it for another FMF post - found too much stuff this week.

  4. Love the cradle and clothesline! Very cute! The pram in the background looks like the one my mum had when she was growing up and I used when I was a kid too. Nice finds!

  5. I love those bottles. I found bottles this week also. They add such character to a home I think.

  8. Thanks for all your comments! Love hearing what you all think... seems the clothesline is a hit! I was pretty excited about that one myself. It would actually be pretty easy to make if you have no luck finding. See you back here next week :)
