The $5 Flea Market Find


So this is NOT for The House of Goodwill, but I have to share because it’s a perfect example of why I love flea-ing.  Whenever I have to drive somewhere for work, I always try to combine it with checking out an antique store or flea market along the way if I can.  A couple of months ago I stopped at a flea market and found this vintage pitcher and bowl for $5.  $5!!!  I stood in front of it for ten minutes trying to talk myself out of buying it because at this point, even after buying two cabinets to store my vase collection, I really had nowhere to keep it in my house.

    

But the heart wants what it wants.  And hey, it was only $5.  Even the guy checking me out couldn’t believe the price the vendor had on it.  I just knew that it would make for the perfect spring flower arrangement, and with $8 worth of alstroemerias, it is.  Buying vases so cheaply it makes it easy to use them and then pass them on to friends full of flowers when I’m done with them.  

Happy spring everyone!
