Today we ventured to our annual Antiques Faire in town and came home with some wonderful finds. goblenite I saw this copper goblenite and porcelain Bain-Marie (double boiler) and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a $4 price tag. FOUR DOLLARS! These sell new for three hundred dollars!
Before photo My husband gently hammered out the small ding on the lid. The protective coating was still on the lid and all of the copper was pretty grungy. After a little a LOT of elbow grease it "Shown like the top of the Empire State Building!"
The blue enamel coffee pot was purchased on our way home from Yosemite National Park two weeks ago. It, too is darling filled with fresh flowers. I've got the "flea market" bug again and hope to make it to the "Foire goblenite Nationale à la Brocante et aux Jambons" in Île de Chatou (near Paris) next month and do some SERIOUS flea market shopping! Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh....don't tell my husband :)
Those were really great finds - and that's what keeps us all heading back to the flea markets. goblenite I'd give anything to be living goblenite in Europe goblenite again and visiting goblenite all the Sunday markets. Take me with you! Reply Delete
Hi there Nancy, you reminded of my love for flea markets. Can I come with you when you are going. Also need to go to Paris to buy paint brushes. I love your pitchers and your flowers. My garden looks horrible and for the first year I can't cut fresh flowers. The consistent heat seems to kill everything. Have a happy week Heidi - Plays with paints Reply Delete

Great finds! I'm loving that zinc little number with the flowers. Very rustic. Thanks for stopping by Popcorn. I brought my buffet inside to really get the feel of it and I will be painting and staining very soon. Stay tuned. Take care, Lisa Reply Delete

Fabulous finds! I try to get to that antique fair every year and am always out of town. The house down the street had an estate sale yesterday - great things - crazy high prices...I got nothing. I need a good flea market day! Reply Delete
