2nd Time Around: Birds and Spring!

One of my favorite things at the flea market are bird related items! I love these vintage bird prints with an updated frame. I have two very similar that I have been needing to make a decision about! I think I may keep them for the guest bedroom. I bought them really cheap at an estate sale, and the young man conducting the sale for his grandmother got very emotional as he told me how much she loved her bird prints! I love them too!

 

Sometimes in my hurry to buy things for my booth, I overlook flaws that I should have noticed! If you look carefully at this little bird flower pot you will notice that the tail is broken from one of the birds. Actually this pot has been in my booth awhile, and I had been surprised that no one bought it. Then one day the lady that runs it called me and told me someone was interested in this pot but wanted to know if I would reduce the price because one of the feathers was broken! Of course I said yes! Maybe the new owner has repaired it!

 

I’m ready for spring, and enjoy browsing the antique mall and the flea market for flower pots! I had much rather buy a one of a kind than a mass produced one at Walmart or somewhere!

Several months ago, I wrote about my new hall tree. Click here to see that post. I have a ‘thing’ for hall trees! The one in the previous post was my second one. I’m still trying to sell the first one at one of my booths.

 

Now, I’ve found another one I like! This one is very unusual…guess that’s why I love it! It has an old  oak door with beveled glass attached to the bottom of an old hall tree! And behind the glass is a mirror. The only thing missing is some hooks which would be an easy fix!

 

I have been tempted with this one (sorry the picture is not perfect, but this lady is still working on her booth) I could always sell the one I have now at one of my booths! Don’t know what I’ll decide to do-maybe it will sell before I make up my mind! That would solve my problem!

2nd Time Around: Higher End Antiques

Although painted furniture seems to be the rage, there are still wood pieces that I am attracted to. At the newest place where I have the jewelry booth I wrote about a couple of weeks ago, there are some ‘high’ end antiques that are in the booths there.

I don’t have space for these pieces, but love both of them. I have a similar tea cart at one of my antique booths for a whole lot less than the asking price for this one. I’m interested in seeing if and when it sells!

And I love this cabinet with the beveled glass doors. I don’t know enough about all the old furniture styles and wood, but I wonder if it is  Victorian and maybe mahogany. If anyone can give me information about it, please do! I have a good friend who thought about purchasing it for her newly remodeled living room, but the price of $1500 made her change her mind!

So, do you like either of these? The painted furniture craze has not hit this venue, but I’m thinking it will soon. Several more vendors are on the way, and customers are beginning to stop by and actually buy some things! I’ve already sold enough jewelry to pay my rent, which is not too bad for only 7 days into the month!

2nd Time Around: Matching the Paint to the Piece!

Sorry this post is late getting up, but sometimes life gets in the way!

This week I’m featuring two painted pieces at the Flea Market. I do the Facebook page for them, and try to feature items that will entice customers to come out and look at all the great merchandise we have. The little shabby desk sold very quickly, and the red chiffarobe had several comments. I haven’t painted anything this color yet, but my daughter wants a desk I bought to paint, and wants it red! So, I’m hoping she will see this and let me know if it is anywhere close to the color she wants! I think the owners of these pieces did a great job on choosing colors that ‘go’ with the furniture!

 

 

Thanks for dropping by today! I’m traveling to a small Alabama town to visit my student interns and of course will do a little junking on the way home! LOL….can’t help it-I’m addicted!
