Flea Market Finds

Great day at the flea market today...perfect weather and more importantly great finds! Take a look...

 My arms were breaking by the time I made it back to the car. So glad I had my canvas bag with me to carry the dishes. You know you are hooked on flea markets when you bring your own bag. Soon I'll be one of those people who brings a metal cart. Don't laugh, I've had my eyes open for one!!!

Repurposed Mosaic Window

                                                                BEFORE

 I had this old window laying around just waiting to be repurposed and given a new life. I changed out the old glass and replaced it with mirror. I added some vintage porcelain and glass door knobs that can function as coat holders. And naturally added a mosaic touch.

DIY Jewelry Holder

My youngest daughter just turned 13. She is my partner in haggling at the flea market every weekend. It is a great time we share together. I hunt down china plates and anything that looks interesting to mosaic or paint and she has a love of vintage jewelry. She has collected so many pieces and keeps them in a vintage train case we found, of course, at the flea. They were getting so tangled in there so for her Bday, I decided to paint a canvas that coordinates with her room and added cup hooks along the wood frame to display her finds. I also gave her train case a face lift...gifts of love are the best kind. Don't you think? She was so happy with it and now has a place to show off her finds that is both functional and pretty!

Inspired by her bedroom...

Mother/Daughter DIY Accent Table

My daughter and I found this table at the flea market for $5 and decided to jazz it up some for her bedroom. The inspiration her comforter and hibiscus flowers I painted on her wall.

We gave it a fresh coat of white spray paint. My daughter did the stenciling using left over paint from her walls and a stencil we bought on eBay. I trimmed it out in aqua blue craft paint and gave it a coat of polycrylic. Lastly, we glued on the glass beads we had picked up at Michael's a while back using mosaic glue applied with a tooth pick. Now she has a new to her side table for about $15. Here it is...

Vintage china mosaic table

This is what I love to do...vintage mosaic tiling! I found this OOAK heart shaped tilt table on Ebay, love Ebay, Craigslist, garage sales and esp the flea. I would love to see what you have changed up or repurposed. Wish I took before and afters but will in the future...just love seeing others before and after pics. I am so psyched, in the process of getting my web site up. So happy to have found Susan @ onespringstreet.net. She has been so helpful with her quick responses to my many questions and her designs are beautiful!
