Ventura Flea Treasures....

 I promised I would show you the goodies we found at the Ventura Antique flea... then I got the flu! So the only photos I got were today as I finished adding them to the booth. Above is the sweet metal basket I got at the flea...
 Here is my coffee filter up against the brick wall, I love that wall! (sorry it's a little blurry!)



 Here is the darling Therm-a-jug, it even still has the little cup inside!
 The glove mold, flower frog and powder box are from the flea...


 This old chair is very chippy but so charming too! It has gold underpaint and gold stenciling on it... I love it!



 And that little jewelry manny peeking out from the frame...a new addition...



The sweet stool is also from there, it even has a little storage in the seat!
Well, hope you enjoyed my little tour...I hope to be back soon! karen...

Random Pretties....

I don't have too much to tell you but wanted to show you the coffee filter wreath that I finished last week.
I added a pretty linen bow to finish it off, I am pretty happy with it and now it is in my booth.



Here is the view from my cupboard one morning... I love robin's egg blue and turquoise and white so I was happy to look in and pick out my coffee cup...just  randomness...







Here is a little corner of the booth... I love vintage hankies and this apron makes me happy too!



And here is a little shelf in the booth... more randomness...


Hubby and I took a little trip on the 23 and 24th up to Ventura to the flea market and we stayed overnight at a pretty historical hotel... a much needed getaway. We got some fun things at the Antique flea, the weather has been too gloomy to photograph it but hopefully this week since we are looking to weather in the high 70's and 80's again.
Well, I hope your week has started off good... I was lucky enough to make green eggs and ham for 7 little toddlers who were bouncing in their seats to help scramble those green eggs (and who also would not try a bite of them- heehee) I am a lucky girl!  karen....
