Friday Flea

Posted: August 26th, 2011 | Filed under: Shoppin' and Junkin' | Tags: | 11 Comments »

Another sweaty flea, but a good day.

This lamp was a dreamboat…but too pricey.

I’d love to see who brings this home…..frat house?

OK…can we discuss these?  I’ve never seen these in “caucasian.”  Blackamoor figurines are controversial and widely considered racist, so which scenario do we find more offensive…owning them as they were made so many years ago, or painting them white?!  Discuss amongst yourselves.

Homecrest!

So what did I get?  Smalls today….pics taken down in the garage dungeon…so, not the best light.

 

More birdies that are exactly the same as the ones in my dining room.

The CC thinks I’ve lost it with these guys…

Most of these items will not be staying with me, but will be sold at the blogger tag sale on October 1st.  Details to come very soon.  Have a great weekend!

    I will make a “formal” announcement soon, but haven’t yet until all the details are final, which they almost are!

    OMG that sofa I LOVE. I missed the flea. Would love that sofa but i bet they want a pretty penny. :(

    Btw i got the same horse bookends at the flea last month.

    Same bookends?! Well, I knew you had good taste! :) Y’know, I never asked the price of the sofa b/c I’m not in the market for one, I just admired from afar. Sunday it might be discounted?

    I think that’s where I lost the CC…the flower birds are actually PLASTIC!

    But they’re pretty plastic birds! I missed all that small stuff except maybe the glasses. Saw all the bigs. I came home with nada from the flea but got some goodies before at an estate sale and junk shop. Yes, that sofa was at the flea last time and I think he wanted a lot for it then. Maybe he’ll wise up and go down on the price. I got the same horse bookends at at en estate sale but mine are more gray/black and white. Can’t wait for our sale.

    How much was the lamp? Wish I could come to the sale :(

    It was $95, which in retail world is fine, but….it wasn’t in perfect condition and it just felt like too much.

    I did NOT see HOMECREST!!! I need that piece too! Grrr. Which reminds me, I have some new pieces that could use your ID’ing eye, they are similar to Homecrest, but weren’t in any of their back catalogs. Maybe you’ll have seen them before.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your flea is FANTASTIC!

    And I have the exact same partridge set! Mine are bronze. Are yours brass?

    Excited for the sale!
