Flea Market Finds

Hi Friends! I was able to sneak a hot Saturday to do some summer Flea Marketing recently with my "older" sister ;) and boy did we have fun!  We have at a great Flea Market not too far from home that happens once a month; Kane County in lovely St Charles, Illinois. As we were driving and planning our fun filled day, I realized we didn't have a camera to snap pictures of all the unique, beautiful  junk  antiques!  We met all kinds of people and can I say how refreshing it is to still meet some truly kind, nice , honest people! One dealer in particular, Burt was a joy to talk with! My big sis bought a terrific mirror from Burt at a great price too! (Hope his wife was not too angry with him for giving it away selling it so cheaply ! Anyway, even though I couldn't take pictures during our fun flea market day laughing, searching, talking, I took some after of a few of my treasures!

Blue Mason Jars with zinc lids

A pretty white lace pillow slip looks perfect on our bed!
What do you think? 
 Until next time..... savor summer and stay cool!

                I'm linking up to Nifty Thrify Tuesdays @ Coastal Charm take a look at all the great finds!

  1. Loving those huge corbels! I would have scooped those up too. One can never have too many blue ball jars. I have them too. Love them. The pillow case is really pretty.

    By the way, I'm the 4th sister!
