Flea Market finds and a new heart

Look what I found today at the local Flea Market - for 50 cents I just had to take it along.

I love old letters and old glasses so these came home with me too.

old bottle and a small jar of vintage buttons, most of them mop! Lucky day.

Another heart in the making, it just needs to be sewn together and stuffed with lavender.

Have a wonderful weekend my dear friends and thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and love to you,

Such a great bunch --and I love the Tour Eifel, of course- and everything else- you was very lucky.
Your new heart is so sweet, and will be wonderfully smelling with some lavenders inside.

Hugs, and happy saturday, to you,dear.

Tower. The heart you are making is especially pretty. All of my materialmis back in St.Paul and I am missing it, as I would love to make some little hearts! I must be satisfied with my journal and some jewelry supplies! Hopefully we will be back in time to make some valentine treats. Until then, I will have to enjoy yours!

Lynne Moncrieff said...: Hi Marie. Amazing finds. Those bottles will be perfect for the Smitten class. The Eiffel Tower caught my eye as I adore anything with a Parisian connection and how could you not re-home those glasses and letters. I always like to ponder on the stories of past lives. Great finds.
Another adorable heart and to fill with lavender will make it so special. I find it such a soothing smell, especially when suffering from a migraine. Thank You for sharing.
Enjoy your day. Wishes. Lynne M; January 16, 2011 at 4:21 AM
Martina said...: Hach, Marie - Du bist wirklich ein Glückspilz! Was Du immer für geniale Dinge auf den Flohmärkten findest.....
Das Lavendelherz ist auch ganz entzückend.
Hab noch einen schönen Sonntag meine Liebe.
