A few things to share

Took several pictures in my booth at Merchant Square yesterday and I would like to share them with you.
I found a couple of books on ideas for having tea with friends.  The tea cups are from my personal collection.  There is also a vintage canister with roses on it that could be used to store tea.    The candlesticks are silvered glass and just beautiful!  And, of course, everyone needs to wear pearls to tea!  I also have gloves in my booth -- and hats!
This is a pic of another cannister with roses on it.  Love these tall, etched apothecary style storage jars.
Remember Big Little Books?  Well, I don't, but they are really nice books.  Note the two old prescription bottles with handwritten labels.  I have several stick pins for sales as well.
I have never seen leather baby shoes with zippers!  This is before Velcro!!
More girlie items.  The little round tray has genuine French lace between glass in it.  The silver baby spoon and pusher are typical English items used to feed baby.  There are a pair of tiny salt and pepper shakes with enameled tops on the tray.

Just a few of the special items I have in my booth.  Hope you can visit Merchant Square soon.  Next weekend, beginning October 12 through October 14 is Merchant's first 3-day sale and the popular flea market is on Saturday, the 13th.  See you there!!

Flea market finds yesterday

Merchant Square holds 3 day sales at the antique mall approximately every two months. This weekend is the kickoff sale for the fall and winter season. On Saturday mornings during the sale they have a parking lot flea market which is wonderful! Great finds and bargains are to be found!

Yesterday I went early (6:30 a.m.) to catch the best stuff at the flea market. Here is what I found yesterday. All of this will be priced and put in my booth by next week.This picture shows most of my finds. There were a few others, but they have been torn apart to use in art projects. I love the little lampshade. It is silk! Something you don't find today unless you are willing to pay big bucks. The little pink purse is too cute! There is also a white beaded purse, black gloves, bag of red beads, a romantic powder box, tiny bride and groom for a wedding cake, a lace hat, pink perfume bottle, small cream pitcher, shabby chic dresser mirror and that lovely antique oval swing frame.Also found yesterday were these petticoats. Actually they are square dance petticoats, but I remember these from the 50's. They will be in my booth one at a time. I just love them! So swishy and pretty!Beautiful white lace dress over a light pink liner. Jessica McClintock for Gunne Sax, size 9. It is lovely!Lovely pink satin formal. No size or maker label. I think it may be approximately a size 8 or 10. This dress is in great shape! If you have someone who is going to prom and would like a nice dress at a reasonable price, here they are! I also have another Jessica McClintock dress in black satin at Merchant Square as well as two vintage prom dresses -- one in light blue and the other is white lace bodice over a mauve skirt. Very pretty dresses!
