This will be short and sweet. I am trying to get ready for a yard sale Saturday morning and have lots of things but nothing priced and I always seem to wait till the last minute then panic.
I went to 3 resale shops while in St Louis last Monday after the Gypsy Caravan flea market. My friend suggested we go to some resale shops.
I found these 3 pyrex bowls at such a good price I couldn't leave them and they are not even a color I buy, I like the pink, turquoise, lime green. But they now live with all the other clutter I bring home and set either in the studio or on my kitchen cabinet till I can find another spot for them
You know it's a sickness LOL why couldn't I just leave them for someone who likes olive green pyrex? My Mom had these once guess that's why I was attracted to them ? She even had the kitchen utensils that matched .
Today Is June 1st would have been my Mom & Dad's /stepdad 55 th anniversary. I miss them both .They married when my sister and I was very little in age .

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.

Enter a number:
I entered a number bewtween 1-42
Saturday morning I went to a few yard sales with my neighbor
and I found a couple things I can use and then I found this little table for $4.00 and just couldn't pass it up. The original varnish is still on it and it is all crackled up , but I don't need another table in my small house so will play with it a while , like try to paint it white then put it in my yard sale, sounds silly but it's called self entertainment LOL
I like the round pedestal a lot , wish I had some of that Annie Sloan paint all the gals are talking about
then I found a sea shell wind chime for $1.00 and a large flower pot that has a crack in it but I like the lion heads on it and I figured the crack will just help it drain when I over water , right?
I put miniture zinna 'sin it
I hung this first on my wood fence with my old rusty tin flag but then moved it under my tree by my patio where I hang my lace curtains , that reminds me I need to get them out , because no rain in the forecast

New Treasures
I was not going to go yard sailing today however I thought why not.
My neighbor and I are piling up things in our living rooms and great rooms to have a yard sale then here I am out driving around town buying more stuff LOL
Oh well this is things I collect and tuck away like another ironstone platter, soon as I seen it I knew it was mine
Isn't she pretty? 12x16 inches
Then at another sale I found this brown & white transferware pitcher . I just sold a lot of my brown & white ironstone to a lady , but this was to good to pass up $3.00, so I'll start another collection
7 1/2 inches tall and would hold a quart of anything good to drink
Then OMG I found this lamp !! I see antler things everywhere in decorator books and magazines and pricey , NOT this one . So I drug it home and more than likely it will be either in flea market sale of mine or ? for who ever wants it , guess I could paint it all white and set it in the studio , but where in the world would I set it ? It was just to reasonable priced to let it stay behind
Now wouldn't you have brought it home for 50 cents????????
Then I passed another sign and said to myself I need to get home , because I am having a small diner party tonight just 3 of us anyway I am sooooo glad I stopped because these 3 ladies had all Chico clothing and 2 large tables of Chico jewelry . I love Chico jewelry so I bought a lot for myself , made me happy. They had lovely furniture and an elegant glass table with tall stools , but I was very happy with my finds for the day.
Not sure if I am in time for any Linky parties
