Apparently this is supposed to be the busy shopping day leading up to Christmas. Husband and I were out nice and early this morning and I did manage to squeeze in a few thrift stores along with all the other stuff on the list. I found a gorgeous ruby red glass vase. Nothing fancy but just the right colour for Christmas.
For a mere 50 cents, I picked up this box of oldies but goodies. The box label says these glass balls were made in Poland. I thought that was most interesting.
This lovely dish is marked made in Japan and was half price in the vintage section. I was most delighted to hand over $2.50 for such a lovely dish. The elderly male volunteer at the cash was quite enamoured with it and I thought that was sweet!
And what is a trip to a thrift store without some fabric? I love this red vintage cotton print! The bundle had several metres and that is a great thing!
So there you have it. Flea market finds for December 17, 2011! Mum is coming on Tuesday for Christmas and I am sure to have some awesome thrift store shopping with her! Husband will get a break for a bit!
I will link up with Sophie's Flea Market Finds as soon as the link is active and with Thrift Share Monday! Merry almost Christmas!!!
