Flea Markets? Who needs them? I am just kidding. I am only saying that because I am wishing I had some. :) This, I have to settle for the seasonal garage sales. There truly aren't many good ones, I'll tell you that but the last two weekends I have done alright. If you can get the good stuff at a garage sale you can score even better deals though because sometimes people just don't know what they have.
I found these brass colored cake toppers that I think I will spray paint.
What color should I choose?
Who would keep their pennies for paint-worn ballerinas?
I found these beautiful glass chandelier crystals. My hope is to one day find a beautiful brass chandlier at a garage sale for cheap and paint it and embellish it with prism crystals. I just won't budge on an expensive one. I won't show you all the fantastic beauties that I bought last weekend because you would cry when I told you how little I paid. Those are the times when garage sales are a better pay out than a flea market. But I got tons of beautiful laces, jewelry, papers and oh so much more. I will put some in the shop when I get past all my MOPS events this summer. :)
OK, I want the train case and the crystals! You hang in there, one day that chandelier will show up. I was out garage saleing one day and one place had 2 for $10 each....I was sure the tag said $100, but nope it was $10. It is always fun to have something your are looking for!
