Flea Market Finds

I had a quick flick around a couple of local thrift stores with the hope of finding some knitting needles of a particular size, to use as mandrels for jump-ring making. I found heaps and heaps of the things and picked up the exact sizes required for 50 cents a pair! Woo hoo! Naturally I couldn't resist checking out all the other stuff ...

I found a lovely old tin - you can see it at the back there - and best of all, it has a hinged lid, perfect for storing stuff in. A bag of chocolaty brown wood beads needed a new home and of course there were buttons but the loveliest find was another dear little deer to add to my ever growing collection of woodland critters!


This little one does have rather "come hither" eyes I think! I also found a couple of decent LP's lurking amidst a huge pile of Nana Maskouri and Khamal albums.


That is Marianne Faithful's "Broken English" (features 'Working Class Hero' and 'Ballad of Lucy Jordan') and the other one is "The Best of Santana" . Excellent luck I think! Head over to Sophies and see what the cool people have been finding in their thrifting adventures this week!

And just  because I can, please let me share this with you ...




and a little Santana - to end on a happier note!
