Flea Finds, Back to School Kids and a Show You Won’t Want to Miss

I thought I would have a lot of great pictures of completed projects to show you.  Fact is, I have a lot of projects that are almost done.  I am so good at starting projects, not so great at finishing them.  But, I have a deadline, so I really need to get my rear in gear and get busy.  Coburg is on Sunday (we leave Saturday night) and I’m starting to get excited about my final show of the year. 

Since I don’t have any completed projects to show, I thought I would show you my finds from the flea market last Sunday.

Cute wicker basket, a big bag of watches including these, some buttons, jewelry and a little glass knob.

Little shabby shelf.

Two little boxes with drawers. The top one is getting the white paint treatment.  These are so great for holding lots of little bits and pieces.

Gorgeous antique nightgown.  Love the lace and ribbon on this larger sized beauty.

 

Not the best picture, but I was thrilled to find this adorable vintage petticoat.

Another not great picture, but I always love finding little girl’s petticoat slip with crinoline.

This week was back to school and we have a tradition in our family to take a back to school picture.  My son started yesterday and as you can see, not too thrilled to have his picture taken.

My daughter, had several potential first day of school outfits, and this is one she decided on.

I like this picture better though.

If you are in the greater Portland area this weekend, Monticello is having their Fall Premier Show.

It starts on Friday with lots of really great guest vendors and continues through the 26th with vendors restocking their spaces frequently.  This is always a really great show.  See the Monticello blog for more details.

That’s it for me for now.  I’m off to sew a couple more shopping cart liners as well as hopefully finishing up a few of those other projects I mentioned at the beginning of this post.  I hope you are all having a lovely week.
