Friday Finds

Last weekend, Nate & I took a road trip to celebrate his birthday. The details on that trip to come, but I just couldn't wait to share the goodies I found while hitting some out of town flea markets and antique shops.

An Italian finger vase in a glossy periwinkle.

toys...both a little prehistoric.

A sharpening tool with the greatest patina'd green handle.

a colorful advertising bucket.

Vintage kids flippers. I just couldn't resist the quirkiness. The color was the clincher.

2 dozen matchbooks. Some great images and businesses. I like using them in guests rooms with a candle or for assemblage projects.

You can't beat a mother's cookie recipe. Retro or otherwise.

And like I need any more of either of these. A classic LP and a killer find. 1952 bound atlas....it was $2.50 ! Wait till you see what I do with the images.

Enjoy the weekend and happy treasure hunting.
