Fancy $15 Tables and Fleaing

It happened so fast.  We made it to our local flea market today.  I didn't think about taking photos until we were on our way home.  Sorry.  I can however share a pair of tables we had with us.  My husband picked these up yesterday for $15 at a garage sale.  Yes, fifteen dollars for both.



They SOLD very quickly after the crowd rolled in.  Marble tops with ornate metal bases.







I have to be honest.  I wasn't crazy about the marble.  I prefer marble with white and grey tones.  However, the lady who purchased them loved the color.  So, that's all that matters.




The pair of weathered green chairs I shared before sold as well, as did quite a few other things.




My inspirational plaques, and brocante signs sold well.  People at this particular market don't see a lot of repurposed and handmade items.



Frames, pottery, this and that, sold.

It was nice to get out.  The weather was pleasant, and this flea market is only a 15-20 minute drive.  Many years ago we sold at this market almost every week.  The crowd comes in at 7:00am.  We were pretty light by 9:30, and left around 10:00.  We didn't bring a huge load, but, for a few hours work, we were very pleased with the results.

I'm still taking it easy.  Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes.  I'm making a great recovery. Feeling like my old self again.  I'll have more to share during the week.

See ya soon.

  11. $15 for the pair! That's worth buying for the price alone! The bases of them are so lovely and articulately detailed. I'm so happy to know that you are feeling better and pray you continued good health.
