A Weekend at the Flea Market
Is it Monday already? The weekends just go by way to fast, don't you think? As much as I love the routine of the week, it's always such a bummer to see a Monday morning come around again.
On Sunday some good friends and I did some Flea Market shopping...so much fun! We are lucky to live within a not-so far driving distance of a pretty large Flea Market that only happens the first weekend of every month. If you live in Illinois and get a chance, you should go and check it out...we always find some amazing treasures and are able to bargain for deals...which I am always so scared to do but am always so happy when I ask and get a great price!
This time around I went with nothing particular in mind to shop for, I was an open book which can and can't be a good thing :-)
I found this lovely set of matching vintage pillowcases...perfect for dresses for Penelope and Eloise!
Then I scored these beauties...
Yesiree Bob, PYREX in the house!
A perfect condition set of vintage yellow nesting mixing bowls!
I love how the middle size bowl's colors are reversed...
And the baby one, well, it's just so small and sweet!
Delicious vintage goodness :-)
I think I'm ready to mix something up.
I also scored these lovelies too...
A set of four (yes, I know this picture only shows three!) covered dishes.
These two would be perfect for Ellie's baby food...
Two little dishes stacked up high...
Become three when they multiply...
And then *poof* become four as they reach the sky!
So how was your weekend?
Did you do anything fun??
Please do share!!
XOXO,

PS: I think I am going to use your bubble skirt tutorial as inspiration to make skirts for Ethne's girls.
OMG my grandma had those bowls!!!!! We still have the tiniest one left...my sister claimed it as hers in the future...
Love the square dishes with lids! Actually, all of your goodies! I wish we had an indoor market near me for the winter. I get spring fever waiting for garage sales and estate sales.
oh i LOVE those refrigerator sets! my grandma still used hers until pretty recently, so half of them are busted. :( i've been looking for a while, maybe i'll have to come up and visit the kane county market, my husband travels to batavia for work quite often!
Funny how bowls that I grew up with -now have become 'vintage'....does that mean I'm old!!!?:/
Love to score great stuff for a great price! We actually went to Goodwill yesterday and spent $120 on clothes for the whole family. Some stuff that I really like. Yea! Good considering I only had 1 pair of pants that fit (that what happens post baby 2 I guess) :) And the weather was beautiful so we were outside enjoying the day in the yard. I love those vintage pillowcases!
My mom has those exact bowls!(they were a wedding present in 1977.) She uses them all the time!
My granny had those dishes. I wish I had them now. Your finds were great. I love flea markets....
I love the primary color Pyrex. I've been looking for a set. Sadly, no flea markets or consignments near by.
Doesn't finding such great deals give you a little rush :)
ummm. love the pyrex, how come you didn't invite me along to the flea market? hehehe
Great finds! Love the pyrex too!

I love refrigerator glass. My mom has always used it for food storage so I do too!
