The best find of the day is this vintage, toy cake tin. I just couldn't resist the cheery red and green design.
At the same sale I also found this Ball Mason, Salt and Pepper Set.
I also bought another vintage, leather suitcase. It has a lovely red lining inside.
So that was our adventure at garage sales. Next, we picked up another friend and drove into downtown Los Angeles' Garment District. What a different world that was! There were shops and shops filled with fabric, lace, buttons and so many different types of trim. It was overwhelming. I bought just a handful of buttons. It was a unique experience but almost too much for one day.
The final part of our day found us 55 miles away searching for a thrift store that someone had told us about. It was closed but we explored other thrift stores where I bought some items that I plan to use in future projects.
It has been a long and fun day but now I think I need a nap.

ReplyDeleteGreat finds! :-)
ReplyDeleteDowntown L.A... sounds really amazing to me! Would love going to L.A./CA... someday! (But I hate going by plane which makes it a bit difficult ;o))
I went to a flea market yesterday as well. Found a few great items (for my webshop). Maybe I'll go again today... with my mom. :-)
Have a great Sunday, Lynda.

ReplyDeleteI'm digging the S & P shakers - love that they've got the box.
ReplyDeleteI have a suitcase fetish! I have a set of multiple sizes like the brown one you found ... can't wait to see what you do with yours!
ReplyDeleteI think we all have suitcase fetishes. The weird thing is it comes and goes and mine is starting to rev up again. Love the the little sewing machine. Beautiful color. But the cake tin, takes the cake....:D
