stock up saturday: worth a second trip

Got up early and headed out on my own only to find a few not-so-great things. Then, mustered up some energy and my 6 year old boy to head out later and managed to find:

- Oil and Vinegar Cruets by Wheaton Glass (Fused together, funny that.)
- Couroc Tray (Honoring the First Presbyterian Church in Monterey, CA 1883 - 1983. Almost left it, then changed my mind.)
- Dorothy Thorpe Silver and Glass Tray (Pretty awesome I think with original stickers and label still on the bottom.)
- Heller Cups and Bowls
- Two Panels of 1960s Marimekko (Yes!)
- Mexican Sterling Silver Utensils Set (My "Should I, Shouldn't I" item for this week. Box has a distinctive mark: "Plata Moderna Mexico 925 Sterling." Love the style and can't wait to see what they look like all shined up.)
- Paden City Teapot (I believe it's from the Greenbriar/Greenbrier line from the 1950s.)
- And lastly, a Figgjo lid. Yep, a lid. What was I thinking?

All but the cruets were found past noon. Goes to show the early birds don't get ALL the worms.

Of course the boy was the best partner ever, always is. He was duly rewarded with a toy helicopter and a recorder, and was even so considerate to pick out a flashlight and yet another recorder for his little sister. A 3 year old and a 6 year old marching around the house all afternoon with recorders they don't really know how to play. Again, what was I thinking? Did someone say wine?

  4. Hi, thanks for visiting me! Great finds, love the Marimekko fabric! The Figgjo lid made me laugh, I'll have a look for the rest here in Norway for you. We've now a cuddly toys-ban from flea markets, as that's usually what the kids bring back when they get to pick one thing each. Gets a bit...hairy after a while in the house. I'll follow your blog on my Blolovin account.
