This cool vintage children's rocking chair. I wanted to get one to sand and paint, but I cannot bare to cover this wood with paint as planned. Cost = $7.00
These tow amazing poster books containing vintage ads and vintage war posters. I plan on stretching some of these onto artist canvases and maybe add a bit of mixed media touches to them. Total cost for both books = $2.00
Handwritten and self distributed Amish Recipe book from the 1930's. So cool to see some Amish ladies' handwriting to preserve her favorite recipes. Cost = $0.50
Small wooden chair for children's photography sessions. Can't you see a cute little boy in this one? Cost = $2.00
Kooky old jigsaw puzzle of Henry VIII and his six wives. I put it together and every piece is there. I thought the subject matter was so cool and kitschy...LOVE it. Cost = $0.50
White farmhouse chair for portrait photography sessions. I actually AM going to strip this one and repaint it a nice deep red. Cost = $3.00
Large rectangular basket for newborn photo shoots. I am thinking of removing the handle, but I can't decide. What do YOU think? Cost = $5.00
Old Pepsi bottle crate. I have big plans for this one that should unfold some time this December. You'll have to wait and see. Cost = $8.00
Uncle Remus Story Book. I knew this was worth something the moment I saw it since the Disney Movie, The Song of the South, has been banned for some time here in the US. I bought it for $1.50 and it sells on Amazon for between $150.00-200.00...Wowza! Total score.
Can I just say....we have the best Flea Market ever!
Almost every week I have stumbled onto something fabulous.
I can't wait to re-purpose these items and make them my own.

I love flea markets. Great finds! I don't think that you should remove the handle, but i guess it depends what you are going to you it for? I love all the chairs. I bought an old rocking chair at a flea market a couple of years ago. It had an cherub engraved on the head rest. My friend said it looked creepy, like it was watching her. Now it kinda creeps me out:( Way to ruin it friend!
You absolutely must keep the basket handle.
Dude, I've never even been to a flea market. Sweet finds. Can't wait to see what you do with the pepsi crate. And I'm positive my parents have that Uncle Remus book. I'll have to check.
I have some friends who worked with a guy from China who got them a bootleg copy of the Song of the South. they in turn made us a copy also.
Love the flea market and you found some great stuff
I'm so jealous! Our flea markets around here suck! I would never find anything that awesome at my flea market. I vote for leaving the handle on the basket.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the bottle crate. I've got four of them floating around in my garage because I just think they are cool. I'd love to have something fun to do with them.
I am so jealous of your flea market experience! I am excited to see what you do with those vintage poster books because I have some I have been trying to decided how to use artistically.
Fun items, girl! And definitely leave the handle on, you can shoot around it.
Holy crap! I have that book from my childhood and had no idea!!!!! =) Super cool!
I'm right with you on fleas, etc. I have an addiction starting from birth. My mom used to drag me to everything - even bottle digging when I was very small. I have a garage full of all kinds of props and vintage papers coming out my ears but I love it all!
