tuesday flea market finds.

Today's flea market was the one in Turlock. I like this one a lot because it's the one where I'm always more likely to find cool old stuff. Nothing spectacular today, but of course I can't leave the flea empty-handed. That term just sounds wrong to me.

Here's what I found today:

An old doll, whom I liked because she reminded me of a character from a fairytale--

Some more old linens--I just adore bright, cheerful old pillowcases--

A cute old Mother Goose book from the 40's for a quarter,

with adorable illustrations inside--

(don't you love when old books have beautiful front and endpapers?)

A cool swatch of fabric with pictures on it--

...and some summery shoes.

I will now call them my "cheap summery dollar shoes" :D

'Cause you guessed it...they cost $1.

These here are some fancy shoes, too. 

Even the bottoms are cute ;)

Now isn't that a cheerful little imprint :)

 I was amazed at how much these shoes sell for online.

I've never heard of them, but the brand is Indigo by Clark's. 

They'll match my "cheap summery purse" that

is my favorite right now. It's on the larger side, and I sling it across

when I use it so my hands are free.

Very excellent when flea marketing.

I like to put different little pins I find on the fronts

of my bags/purses.

Oh yeah, I found one more thing today--

this vintage print of the holy family.

I'm not religious by any means, much more the

 "spiritual" type of person...and yet something about vintage items

like this intrigue me. I like the way Jesus is sleeping

so peacefully, as Mary readies the sheet to snuggle him in.

Ready for some more vintage?! Head over to the retro party

over at Sophie's blog, called Her Library Adventures, to find more!
