It has been far far too long. Luckily my life is starting to settle into the lazy summer lull that I love. I just finished up my junior year of college -and landed on the Dean's List. Recently I started a new relationship with a guy who happens to love flea markets. Work has also been pretty nice to me as of late with getting time off. And last but not least, next weekend is my 21st birthday. So I suppose you could say that life is good.
Therefore, it is time to update you on what I had found the month of May. I think I was pretty productive considering how little time I had. I picked up the pair of vintage camp stools for only $2 a piece. The mixing bowls in blue, red, green, orange, and Brittany blue were all around $4-6 each. The blue primary frigie is the older style for $6 in mint condition. Now for my favorites... I spy with my little eye...
...SOMETHING PINK! My first pink mixing bowl in fact. And let me just say, I am impressed with how good of condition it is! I owe this one to my dad, picking it up at the flea market (while I worked) for only $8!
Also a "Dad find" were these small red dishes for the hostess set. The great thing about it is that these three were found for $8 total...and I had one from before....
...So now I have a nice even 4 of them.
These wire file trays were a pretty neat find for $1 a piece...so I grabbed 6.
Finally we have "the can". My dad makes fun of me for purchasing this rusty old Hy-mo cake shortening can. But it was only $4. And I think it's awesome. Also pictured are 2 vintage Pyrex measuring cups for $2 each, a vintage table cloth for $2.50, a cute little pair of metal scissors for $.50 and 2 old and partially fallen apart cook books for free.
Well that's all for now folks, tomorrow I will be heading to a flea market that was quite impressive last year so who knows what I shall return with...oh, and the flea market loving boyfriend will be joining me so I will cross my fingers for a good day! Happy thrifting, flea marketing, yard saleing and the like! Enjoy the sunshine!
Linking up over at Thriftasaurus!
LOL Pyrex, Flea Markets, AND even a boy that will go with you??? Yes, I would say that life is being quite kind to you right about now!

Thanks Erica! I will try hahaha
DeleteCongrats on making the deans list! I hope you get to relax a bit this summer.
ReplyDeleteI use a can kind of like that as a trashcan for my kitchen. I have a Little Dude who used to get into the trash so I had to put it out of reach. The tin worked perfectly because it didn't take up too much space on the counter and was right there when I needed it. Plus it's smaller so it gets changed more frequently so it smells less.
Thanks Melissa! I was pretty tickled with the can, it just looks super neat to me!
DeleteLove it all! I'm on the hunt for 3 more yellow hostess bowls! Hope I'm lucky like you! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Madee! I was shocked when it all fell together, I was sort of loosing hope, but it is possible! I shall keep my fingers crossed for you!
DeleteI would definitely say life is good right now for you! The pink Pyrex bowl would be enough for me:-)
ReplyDeleteHope you had good luck at the flea. I missed ours yesterday but for a VERY good reason (Farm Chicks!).
Have a great week,
Erica
Thanks Erica! Hopefully an update on the flea market very soon!
DeleteThose baskets were such a great price! I would have bought way more than 6, and my boyfriend would think that I've lost it! I would be putting everything in baskets!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda! I'm tempted to check if they still have the stack next time I go and maybe pick up some more hahahah
