Flea Finds.

Oh man I went to a GREAT estate sale this morning. It was a christmas lovers heaven! But I haven't had a chance to photograph anything. So for now, here is what I ended up with from the flea market this month. I got some photos of course. A few for my vintage dog photo collection, a Christmas photo, and one I just liked.
I like her facial expression and that little pointed hood! And her uneven bangs. And the clown. I guess everything about it.
I finally bought some reflectors! I'm still kicking myself for not buying the shoe box full at an estate sale earlier this year. But here are a few to hold me over. There are a few of each kind.
Another weakness. Vintage brooches. I picked up the old mink one at first as a joke to show Thomas, but then I loved it. I think it was the goggly eyes.
This is a teeny little pin, maybe half an inch? (edit: I wore this to work and already lost it. wah!)
This one reminds me of a certain someone, lurking in the background.
And check out this puzzle! Could it be any cuter? It is missing a few pieces, but for a dollar, I'll just enjoy the box. The illustration is by Helen Haywood. Google her, you will find some cute stuff.
I think for just an hour, I came out with some cute stuff! And I only spent 12 dollars!

  4. I'm always envious when I see your instgram photos of your estate sale hauls every Thursday morning-- motivates me to hit them on Friday. :) I collect kitty photos, if I come across any dog ones I'll start collecting them for you! I'm convinced we should do a thrift swap some point in the future as we have similar tastes hehe.

  8. I love the little girl photo, too! I got my bangs cut today and they are looking similarly crooked. lol (I have a cowlick that needs some taming!) The mink brooch cracks me up! My mom got me some tiny mink cufflinks a while back that have eyes on them to make them look like little critters. As always, nice haul!!

  11. I try to have the attitude that we should enjoy what we buy and wear/use them, but to loose the pin is a sad story. The little mink is definitely cute/weird/scary but it would grow on me, too. The puzzle picture is so darn cute, love it.
    You better hide the mink, someone is giving it the evil stink eye...
