Flea Finds!

 Here are my finds finally, from the November Nashville Flea Market! The beach bag is actually a lucky find from the Goodwill Outlet. Travis found a bigger on that was in terrible shape, then found this one that is perfect! it was just in time for my trip to the beach!
 I didn't bring a lot of stuff home from the market this month. I was excited to find these three Junior Deluxe Editions! Especially since the girl in the booth let me have all 3 for 5 bucks! I LOVE the cover of the Myths book!
 I also got this little pine cone gnome. I think I have six now, I'll have to see when I get all my decorations out. I hadn't seen these guys before this year, and I love them!
 I got this pile of yarn at the Goodwill Outlet. I can't resist a googly eye! Or a silly Santa!
 When Travis wanted to go to the outlet after the flea market I wasn't into it. Then I found these! I'm going to rehab them, but how great are the silver leaves and mercury pics and sugar bells!
 I got a pile of vintage pictures of course. I always find the best ones at the flea market! I also found this cute paper cut! I can't wait to get a frame for it. And here are a few of my favorites from the photos I picked up:
 Creepy double exposure.
 Look at this! Class scrap! It looks like that means the whole class wrestles. Have you seen anything like it before?
 Here is Pat and his friend in their skirts. They look like they're having a good time.
 Charlot and Jimmy look like they are having a lot of fun on their ponies! I love the stamp on the back of the photo too. What a great logo!
 A birthday party complete with a perfect princess cake and paper hats!
And I'll leave you with this guy, so proud of his tiny little fish!

  6. You find the best old pictures! The pincone elfs/gnomes are very expensive on Ebay. Shiney Brite made a set of six, and then there are others that are a bit older from Germany. Aren't they wonderful? I have two full boxed sets. I can picture YOU getting a little addicted to them as well!
    Thanks for sharing Rae!

  7. The photo with the Fox Company logo brings back so many memories! I'm originally from the San Antonio area and my family has so many old photos with that logo on the back and that same border around the photo.

  11. Great GREAT pictures! If Pat White is the guy on the left, I think I have a residual-from-my-childhood crush on him based on his resemblance to Danny Kaye. Also, the double exposure...what a pip of a find. Good work, ma'am!

  17. Love all the old photos. The one of the two little kids on the horses is adorable. The double exposure one creeps me out the more I look at it.
