First Finds

By Tinybear @tinybeardk

The Flea market season er about to start over here.Not really until after Easter, but I have been keeping en eye outand managed to find two small ones in the nieghbourhood.
I try to find those related to scouts or charity.That´s where it´s possible to find great and cheap stuff.
Here´s what I found the first place I went.
A beautiful silver platter.I´m going to keep that oneand use it for display
First Finds
and would you believe thisA hole bunch of flower frogs.I have been hunting those for years and have only found a few until now.I got 6 of them for almost nothing.The hardest is to keep the facial expressionand not break into a huge smile when hementioned the price - oh boy :-)
First Finds
and then a bunch of vintage candler clip holders.I´ve saved some for me this time.I´m going to use them on each plate at ChristmasPlace a napkin with a ribbon around and then the candle holder on top with a little candle  - that is going to be so pretty.I got a lot though - so some of these have been listed inthe SHOP in set of four, in case someone wanted somefor christmas too or as a pretty decoration all year.

The next flea market was quite okay tooI got these cool vintage games.I´m sure the exhibitor was thiking what on earth I was going to use these for - cheap they were - very :-) :-)
