What better birthday gift than "an all expenses paid trip to the flea market"? Thanks to the handsom gentleman who I call my boyfriend, I came home with some REALLY good stuff yesterday. I bought a few a things, but most of it was picked out by me...and purchased by him! I think I have a good catch who I'm not letting go :) Take a looksy at all this good ol' junk!

The top of the really awesome green cabinet is an old shoe stretcher ($2), a cool skinny narrow metal blue tool box that's chipped up just perfectly ($2 also), an old metal condiments carrousel for $1, which I can't wait to bake up some cute little mini cupcakes to serve in it (this idea came from the first issue of Flea Market Style Magazine), and two jars. The smaller one was just $1, but I got the bigger one and the flour sifter on the second shelf for $5 (thanks to the magic trick of "bundling"!). That's a splurge for me, but I wasn't footing the bill and it's shaped really cool.
On the first shelf are two bea-u-tiful pieces of ironstone. The hard work of some great cook is quite evident with all the browning and crackling of the platter. I don't know why, but they're something so elegant about a curvy white gravy boat. Both pieces were $2.
I spotted the blue Mason jar because it was a great deal at $2. The apron hanging on the door is one of the cutest I've seen. It's not clear in the pic, but it wears a great blue, green, and white floral design with gold trim and buttons. The best part? Fifty cents! Last but not least, proping the door open is a HEAVY oval shaped iron flower frog. It's just waiting to become an unsuspecting soap dish :)
I truly hope you enjoyed looking at my finds as much as I enjoyed finding them!
Until next time...happy junkin'!
