Just wanted to share two flea market finds this morning. One thing that I have noticed in this economy is that the flea markets are filled with browsing shoppers. We had birthday gift certificates to spend. I say "we" lightly. He had birthday gift certificates to spend, but he has a candy heart and so gladly shared. The swan, we collect them, has a little chip on the back wing and now I've learned from Penny and Manuela that that just doesn't count. Before that, I would've left it sit right where I found it, but it's so lovely and graceful and holds my birthday carnations from nearly three weeks ago beautifully.
This cheese cover, only $1, perfectly rests on this plate so I am using it as a small cloche. It's just large enough for the wee nest in a teacup. I really like it a lot.
Have a happy Monday and a great start to this new week!
The swan is my absolute favorite.
ReplyDeleteHow graceful!
And, I loved the cloche!
ReplyDeleteI see me!! Thank you for your kind words and support. This world can be a tough place!
Cheese cover? I have one of those lovely domes...but had no idea what the real purpose was. I can always learn something over here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea for the little cheese dome!
ReplyDeleteHave to tell you how much I was blessed by yesterday's wonderful, inspirational post. I needed that reminder - thank you, Vee.
Vee,
ReplyDeleteChips = character in my book and your swan is plenty graceful in character! Hey, I have one of those cheese service sets up in my cupboard, I may be a copy cat! Great finds and I hope you and your sweetheart have a wonderful day!
Hi Vee
ReplyDeleteI can never keep up with posting ahead of time ..therefore I'm always behind..lol
That swan is darling! It's so romantic to collect them.
It's chip wouldn't be noticeable, I bet, unless you had a magnifying glass. Glad you are giving it a good home.
The little bird nest in the teacup is a cute idea too!
PS Katz's is so noisy you wouldn't believe it! A wonderful people watching place. The pastrami sandwich was so expensive I decided the hot dog would do, lol, but yes the egg cream was just like I remembered my local soda fountain use to make when I was a kid.
So kind of him to share. The swan is so elegant and graceful and I adore the bird's nest in the teacup. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteOh they are lovely finds. I love the swan!
ReplyDeleteVee I love this!!! The nest in the teacup is so beautiful to me ~ the cloche makes it even more wonderful ~ I hope your week is wonderful dear friend, xxoo, Dawn

Hello Miss Vee! I'm just popping in to say hello to you! Testing the waters, so to speak, and trying to get back into blogging a bit.
ReplyDeleteI really like your treasures! Especially the swan. How elegant!
Belated happy birthday!
Hugs to you!

I too was touched by yesterday's post and wanted you to know I will carry that message (or at least work towards that goal!) I love your finds and the cup/nest/cheese dome is sooo fun!
ReplyDeleteI really love your idea of the nest in a teacup. I have an old nest that the birds made in my lilac bushes years ago. Imagine my thrill and sadness when I realized they had woven it entirely out of my German Shepherd, Sybil's fur. She had passed away that year. I treasure it. I may borrow your idea and put it in one of the beautiful tea cups that I inherited from my late mother-in-law. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Lovely how you have used them!
