Today, I will be sharing just two, check back with me later for more!
Y'all know me...I would much rather
head to a flea market than to a mall so I thought I would give you the list I take with me
when I head out to hunt and gather.
Let's see what's on my list....
1. Architectural
Pieces. Things like garden
gates, mantels, old doors and windows. These things never get boring...I always
find new uses for anything unique. I sold this garden gate for wedding...what a charming item to use for displaying black and white pics of the couple.
2. Anything Galvanized. Buckets, bins and old oil cans take on new life as light fixtures, planters and shelves. It a great way to add a touch of industrial to your home.

They would be on my list, too, Linda! Looking forward to more...enjoy the weekend! Love the burlap coffee sacks in the last post, too!
Now I have to wait for 3-10~ Love the idea for the gate...how cute. I just got some galvanized buckets from my Mom's house to take home...yeehaw! hugs, Linda
Those are both on my list too. I bet we have a very similar top 10!
On my list; bowling balls. I put them atop a cinder block flower bed border. There are other items but once I get going...the list will not quit soooo.....
kindred spirits are we! moi aussi! Good luck finding your tresors!!
Oh, Yes! I love a shabby gate and the galvanized....well who can go wrong there, either?
What I really want is the sign in your shop that says, "Because Nice Matters." I'm living with a teenager...
Happy Friday!
Hi, Linda!!!
I love your list!!!
I am new blogger and "treasure hunter" so I REALLY appreciate the tips you are giving!!! Because I still don't have the "eye" and the vision people like you have!
I love the gate, what a great idea, to use it for a wedding!
Talk to you soon!
Linda, I love the rust and galvanized too. My girlfriend that is doing the Flea with me is bringing all old rusty buckets, garden tools, kerosene and oil cans, It will make for a nice mix of shabby and rusty!

OK, #1 and #2 are good, where's the rest? :)
Those would be on my top ten too!
Buckets, and rust and fences...Oh My! so country and just right for my cabin....Mel's Designs

Never considered a list and I'm a list girl

People get so much more creative for weddings now days. Love the gate idea. I'll look forward to #3-10.
Hi just popping over from Sherry's Back 2 Vintage. I love that you called us (women) hunters and gatherers. It's what we do best. Woman are naturals at it. Your post caught my eye. I like your two top picks for 2012. I've actually been looking for a gate. I wanted to use it for growing string beans. I'm your newest follower and I'll stop by again for the rest of your 2012 picks soon.~Ames
hi Linda - your shop looks great, all very lovely
cheers Fiona
I'm anxious to see the rest of the list because I sure love the first two!
Right on. Ditto times ten for me too.
Great choices,Linda! I love all of that too. Looking forward to seeing what else is on your list!
