Flea Market Items for Cottage Kitchen

 

Our guest cottage is 99% completed by the contractor.  Now just getting it furnished and stocked.

We have purchased more "new" than I would have like.  New mattresses, new loveseat, two new chairs, new pots & pans.  Our furnishings budget is thin.  So I took stock of what we still needed for the kitchen and went to an early Sunday morning flea market.  I was pleased to get most of what we still needed.  This stack of bowls with lids -- $3 for all.

$1 for the large pyrex mixing bowl,

and $3 for the clear pyrex set.

$3 each for the heavy duty cookie trays,

and just $1 for the enamelware one.

$3 for the square pyrex baking pan,

and $1 for the Revereware skillet.

I still need a few things, but the basics are covered.

After we get pictures and curtains hung I will post pics of the guest cottage.

Sunday's Flea Finds

 Sunday morning at the flea market we picked up 3 chicken feeders.

Keeping the bottom one for our future chickens.

and a few other misc items for resale.

This may be the last Sunday flea of the season unless

the weather gets unseasonably warm.

I always hate the end of junking season😡

Last Sunday's Flea Finds

I purchased these items, while my husband was doing

some heavy duty selling at the flea market.

(Our first selling experience there, and it went well.)

I'm always a sucker for old clocks.

UPDATE:  A year later this clock moved into our new guest cottage!

....and transferware.  These pieces had some damage,

but I decided to keep these and sell some other pieces I have.

Most of these pieces also made it into the guest cottage!

Speaking of keeping....

you can see that this little pitcher has already been

assimilated.

Vintage Western Fabric Finds

 I was looking through a box at the flea market this morning.

It is definitely someone's "quilt scrap" box -- 

you know, the small remnants of fabric she kept  to

cut into tiny shapes for quilts.

 There were other interesting bits in the box --

lots of floral feedsack.  But I was drawn to all

of the assorted patterns of mid-century western fabric.

Eight different patterns in all.

I am hoping someone out in ebay land finds

them as fascinating as I do.

Bought the box for $10, sold all of them sold for $73.

Hand made truck, kept for grandson.

 We did pretty well at the flea market this morning.

The last couple Sundays it as been rained out,

so it was super busy today.

 The quilt was packing in some guys pickup,

but he agreed to sell it to me for a big $2.

 I paid $40 for all the Christmas stuff,

but I usually do well with holiday items.

 Nice firkin for $15 which needs a little work.

 This was my husband's "find", we live near the old Frisco line.

Olive green mason jar, which always do well on ebay.

Bought for $4, sold for $26.

Sunday Flea Finds

 Grapeleaves and lattice stoneware pitcher.

Not as worth as much as they once were,

but I got it at a good enough price to make money.

 My husband got this tool chest for $5.

I love the substitute handle,

someone made the effort to choose red.

 Our mantra today was "buy cautiously".

HA.  I bought a "pair" of brackets that wasn't a pair.

And a pair of candle hangers,

and I can't find the second one.

And a concrete birdbath.

I hope to have a sale at my home next weekend,

because things are really starting to stack up.

Sunday Flea Finds

 Slim Pickins at the flea market today.

With 8" of rain already this week, and threat of rain this morning.

I picked up the turkey platter for $1.

My husband got the two roosters for $1 each.

 I thought at first they were a chicken and rooster set,

but I don't think so now.

 He also got the pink leather cowboy boots for $3

and the mini-grocery cart for $1.

The grocery cart had a damaged wheel,

so it will probably get a plant plopped in it.
