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....
two of the items that I look for.
Burlap coffee sacks and grain sacks, are very HOT this year. I bet, you already knew that, right? Some of the things that I use these for are...pillows...frame them for artwork...cover chair seats, and my customers love them!
Frames are also high on my list. I really love taking a old frame and bringing it back to life, just like the one I did here. She was a ugly mauve, in her first life.
IRONSTONE sells very well in my booths. I have everything from plates, tureens, vases, pitchers, cream and sugars to even a IRONSTONE BEDPAN!! Oh yes, I have a fancy bedpan:) I always keep my eyes open for wonderful primitive pieces of furniture, like this charming hutch.
CRATES...any type of vintage crate gets my attention.
There is so many ways to use these.
CHAIRS...CHAIRS and more CHAIRS! I can never have enough of these in
my booths.
MIRRORS, old and new are HOT too! You can always
use another mirror. I like to mix old ones with new ones, keep
that in mind, while you are out shopping.
Here at the end, is a old glass jug. There are so many
ways to display these beauties. I use mine for picture
frames, vases , and sometimes I just add a little bling!

Awesome post! Love what you're doing with your coffee bean sacks. I recently came across some but they are very dirty...straight from the coffee bean plant. Any ideas on an easy way to clean them? Also..seems like they'd be hard to sew, etc....You make it look very easy!! Blessings~~Shine
Such nice things. I love ironstone...heck..I just love white dishes of any kind. I can't stop buying them! Hope you'll visit me..

I'm in agreement with the list. All good sellers for me too. I still have to crank out some projects with my pile of burlap.

LOVE IT ALL!!! My Mom asked me when I'm going to buy a car and give up my SUV, I told her NEVER, I "HAVE TO HAVE ROOM to carry CHAIRS,TABLES,WOODEN CRATES,etc,etc,etc... Everything you have here "PLUS"!
Thank you for all the temptation,
Have a wonderful week,

Linda, All great finds! I would say yes to everything on your list. Thanks for linking to the OHP.
Wonderful finds! I always keep my eye out for ironstone, too. Love seeing what stays on your list. Thanks for sharing.
You hit the jackpot with these finds! Love them all...Angie
Those are all greg Linda. I really hope to visit your space when we are out that way. Thanx for taking the time to party at my place!:)
Linda, great post, you are spot on. I found I can get the same price for frames as pictures. And chairs, I wish there was a vintage chair store, any time I can find them they are gone!
Carol
It is fun to have a list and also fun to find a treasure not on the list!
Patricia
Yep... Always on the lookout for ironstone!
Linda, you literally just described the innards of my garage.
