Saturday flea market finds

I was up early and out to Artichoke Annie's to look around at the open air flea market. I was so proud of myself for not spending the my  grocery money on new treasures. LoL  Have you ever done that ? Well I have several times in my life, and still over weight

Anyway I found some red & white some call them pink & white plates , whatever I like them and sure some of you all do also.
There was some good booths set up. I talked to one man from Iowa and he said they were going onto Gypsy Caravan in St Louis Missouri for Monday the 28th. I am going also with a friend and have talked to others who are going. It's a big flea market on University of St Louis Campus off Natural Bridge Road.

I will just show you all some pictures of these little lunch plates they have a calendar of a certain year one each plate, some are marked staffordshire, some meakin. One has it's original price that was sold at Tedford florist in Moberly Missouri $1.75. I gave $1.00 each today . I have 5 now
I am going to use them for salad plates with some of my white plates and will spice things up and use with my blue & white dishes also

                                                               

                                                                             
                                       
       

 
each plate has a different house scene on it , this is my favorite below


                                                                                                                               


   

                                                                                                                                     





Now with my calico plates. I just spent $6 today I also bought some shinny brite Christmas balls in a $2.00 sack



         
I wish we had this flea market more often, just twice a year, last year they did  it 3 times I set up all 3 times, however I sold my flea market car so don't have a way to carry treasures out there any more.

  9. Wonderful finds! They look so pretty with your blue. I think blue is coming back in a big big way. Not that it was ever out of style, but it seems like I'm seeing more pics. and fabrics than I have in a long time.

  11. The plates are gorgeous and once I spent all my money on a chandelier which I finally got around to hanging this afternoon.

    Life is for living and I prefer to use lovely items rather than safe them for best which is what my grandmother did.
